afa style acrylic cases

i have brought from oscar in the past, but not dealt in recent years. i was hoping there was someone else close to home.
 
has anyone got or seen the acrylic cases at uk graders? Are the the same style as AFA?

I am thinking of ordering some, :)
 
They are quite large Carl, I attached a picture of some that Lafos bought to show the difference (the UKG is the bigger)

They did however say they would be making slimline cases much like Oscars but as far as I know that hasn't happened yet..
 
thats a big help thanks! I think i will stick to oscars for now, but i wont be getting for a while, due to my recent puchess :mrgreen:
 
I probably would buy from UKG if they ever brought out the slim case, it is a shame as those sliding back cases are pretty huge :( I guess it's swings and roundabouts as some still buy them but personally I think the slim case just looks nicer, that is a lot of dead space otherwise and takes up extra room on your shelf.

i agree, however those cases will be ok for the bigger blister figures such as gam Guard etc!

Yeah that's him. He also has a website. He is a very nice bloke to deal with. I only had one time that he took awhile to respond to emails, but it was during SDCC and other conventions that he was attending.

After seeing that picture Joe, it makes me want to switch my cases. I didn't realize there was that much of a difference. I've just been using the Protech ones.
 
I just ordered from Oscar some cases and hè is à good guy to deal with (only shipping is à killer, so you better order some more at once)

To be honest I need a few as most of my collection was graded and now I've got a few Palitoy MOC that are in star cases and they dont look as good.Any help you could give would be appreciated though.Drop us a PM if you can help me out.
Cheers

I'm not sure about to the UK. I've got 12 graded style cases that I just ordered hopefully coming soon. It was $20 shipping here in the US, so I would imagine possibly double that for UK. Just a guess though. I emailed Oscar about them a few weeks before actually ordering to get a shipping quote. I'm sure he would do the same for you.

They say rarity = Value when it comes to collectables, but this really is not always the case is it?
