AFA 95- still overpriced though

[TrisCompany]

I haven't seen many straight 95 subs?

Still overpriced though.

Stupid bloody price and grade.

I haven't seen subs like that before , but way too expensive !!

 

[Mr-shifter]

That's Robbie Mullan isn't it?

 

[coomber75]

I still never understand the ratings that they achieve to my untrained eye !

 

[StarWarsFan]

Oh dear not good.

If grading was consistent I could see why people would pay a premium for straight 95s, but the problem is anything above "C9" is a complete lottery and can grade anything from 80-95. It looks no better than all the other 80s and 85s on eBay for a quarter of the price.

 

[theforceuk]

It won't sell for anything like that price. Thing is even collectors who chase numbers wouldn't even won't it because it wouldent match all there other AFA 90's. :roll:

 

[edd_jedi]

Maybe Zach Tann will buy it, then he can sell it "fresh back from grading" for $6000 on Facebook

Am I the only one thinking that this should have been an 85 grade, but the guy working at AFA mistakenly pressed the number 9 instead?
Maybe my eyes aren't what they use to be, but I'm sure I can see some minor border wear, so how on earth did it get an 95?
Also, how did Robbie come up with this number for an asking price? Surely it's a £250 MOC, maybe £300 in that condition.

I reckon you could be right, another classic from AFA! :lol:

I bet the dollar signs lit up in the seller's eyes when he opened the packaging up and saw 95s. Anybody ever seen a 95 before ? or do we think this was a genuine mistake?

 

[theforceuk]

I'm not sure now I've looked the serial number up on toygrader.com and it was graded in 2004. There have been a couple AfA 95's on eBay for about 4 years but silly asking price. Not sure if they are still on, one is a Lando General POTF I think.

 

[Lindo]

There's a few high grade potf moc's on ebay quite regularly, then again stupid prices and he's had them on for at least 10 years on and off

 

[TrisCompany]

Does that mean AFA 100 is possible?

 

[wrighty]

I believe there has been a few AFA 100 when they were still a single tier grading system, I think I have seen a DSC AFA 100!

 

[Paddy the Jedi]

Just wanted to add-on I don't think it belongs to Robbie Mullan!! He operates under the "galactables"moniker!!

No, you're not. Looking at the card it's 85 at very best. I'm sure I've seen cards in that condition that have graded an 80 before. Even being generous and putting a lot of the scuffs seen in the photo down to them being on the case it has more defects than any regular 85. What a load of **** from AFA.

As usual.

 

[TrisCompany]

I think he has 2 ebay accounts that he sells from. Pretty sure this is him as well.

 

[Vin3po]

Its 100% Robbie's other account .

I believe the Lando General POTF that was an AFA95 was graded under the single tier.

Still over priced tho but I am surprised someone aint bought it for the grade.
