[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 476932, member: 8868"] I personally find grading ridiculous. Outside of a few very high end, rare items that it could be argued that grading/authentication is a worthwhile pursuit, it seems like a pointless, arbitrary opinion forcing an unnecessary price hike. Not to mention how many MOCs are no longer 'on card' due to the lack of foresight in the carcass design allowing the bubble to crack or break free entirely. :roll: Anyway, this has been discussed numerous times, so not wishing to cover old ground. But when you pick a graded figure at a price lower than the average for an ungraded version, well...I say bust them free! :D [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF9636.jpg"]39753._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF9637-2.jpg"]39754._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF9637-3.jpg"]39755._xfImport[/ATTACH] More over, the grading on this one just shows how inaccurate some of this grading can be. The figure was given a 90...yet he has a clear blemish on his chin! :roll: Perhaps I should send it back in and demand a U90 grade and see what they say. :lol: (Kidding! U graders will burn in hell!) [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF9638.jpg"]39756._xfImport[/ATTACH] That'll **** AFA's population database. Viva la revolution! :lol: [/QUOTE]
