[QUOTE="Ian_C, post: 367540, member: 6115"] Fair enough on the U grades Christian. Don't let one MOC issue deter you from collecting. The benefit to collecting UNgraded MOC is that bubbles can be protected during shipment. Bubbles with pre-existing damage, and dark yellow ones, are both so fragile you're spinning a roulette wheel on if they'll make a trip safely. If you really love the look of the casing, an alternative is to buy acrylic cases from Iain on this very forum. They look the same as AFA cases, but you can remove the figures. Best of both worlds for you, as you can protect a figure during shipping, and then have it encased. The only thing you're missing is the grade itself - and really, why does a grade matter? Do you really need to have the opinion of someone else to tell you that you have a nice figure? For authenticity, just post pics. Most of us can tell fake from real easily, to at least the same degree as AFA (who have made mistakes in the past). We're at a stalemate on the Leia, so not much use in pursuing that one. You're taking it from the pessimistic side of a seller purposely misrepresenting an item, where most of us acknowledge that the extra damage and loose weapon were likely due to the existing damage being made worse by shipping an item that could not be protected. I'm curious how you think the seller somehow made the footer worse while it was sealed inside an AFA case, but whatever. Don't want to argue it any more. Cheers, Ian [/QUOTE]
