    Thanks for the tip Cazza, I dont think I will post some of the more expensive carded items if I sell them, too much to risk in the post. I will get some cases very soon.

    Can anybody help please.....? Im in the middle of sorting my items out to sell on this forum and after doing a bit of research online and speaking to other members, I gather that quite a few of my carded figures are of pretty high value.

    Ah ok, this grading sounds interesting edd, but to be fair I wont be grading anything....if someone wants to buy an item off me, then let them grade it, its sounds a bit complex and really I dont have the time nor the knowledge to go down this route. Im really just interested to sell when I get...

    Many thanks for all your help with threads and snippits of information. As for the grading of figures , that is amazing, what a brilliant idea...I understand now that if a figure is graded the price is higher than if ungraded. I had a brief look on ebay, wow some of this stuff has really climbed...

    Thanks, there are a lot of uncarded figures and I came across quite a few cards with no figure or blisters, bubbles whatever you call them nowadays.
