Archived (SOLD) ROTJ & TRI AFA sale

[stormcab]

ADDED FIGURES - Decided to put them all up as they are selling at a pace I can manage. I'll move sold items to the bottom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the last part of my personal collection that I've had for about 20 years. I sent them off to the AFA about 3 months ago as I just love having my items graded. In the meantime I had a few unexpected wins at Vectis which hammered my credit card, so I've decided to stick to collecting Palitoy logo figures in the future, and these will have to go to cover my credit card.

I was a bit shocked that several came back as 75 mostly due to the cards getting 70/75. I chose to grade these as I was sure most would get minimum 80, and a few 85s. The AFA seem to be getting seriously harsh on cards. I sent over 2 MOCs I won from Vectis that were totally flawless, so I was expecting either straight 85s, or the odd 90 subgrade. Both got 80s for the card!

I have 19 to sell in total, but will put up in a batch of 7, 6, 6 so I have enough time to pack & box each. I don't have room for a ton of boxes, so as some go, I can get in more boxes. I have plenty of padding material. Please don't DM about what else I have as auctions are not allowed. Everyone gets a fair chance.

Please add 3% for Paypal. Or gift at your own risk. £5 for postage with MyHermes which will require a signature.

I have been noting sale prices of MOCs via here, eBay, FB, Vectis, RS during 2015, and have no prices prior to this, so I hope the prices are fair.
I am offering here first, then after a few days they will be offered on FB & eBay (BIN), then I will accept offers.

Thanks for looking.

Proper harsh 70 grade for the card. I've got cards with 80 in worse condition. Zoom in and have a look at it.

Trilogo Luke Battle Poncho 70 Back D AFA 75 EX+/NM C75 B70 F85 £190 (SOLD)

Baffling grades here, especially the bubble

ROTJ Palitoy Hoth Stormtrooper 65 Back D AFA 75 EX+/NM C75 B80 F80 £100 (SOLD)

This card back is the same as the Toy Toni ones, but was confirmed on this forum as authentic due to the correct bubble molding pattern.
Again confirmed by AFA who have done their research and now know how to confirm a TT. Also, no TTs were AFA 75

ROTJ Palitoy Emperor's Royal Guard 65 Back B AFA 75EX+/NM C75 B80 F85 £140 (SOLD)

Trilogo Barada 70 Back D with Clipper Mini catalogue 75EX+/NM C80 B75 F85 £250 (SOLD)

This is one of the MOCs where I can understand the 75. The bubble has some crumpling at the top.

ROTJ Kenner Power Droid AFA 75 Y-EX+/NM, C70 B85 F85 £130 (SOLD)

Again baffling 70 for the card. I've zoomed around, Minor spider veins near punch, light one on rear!

I only sent these over because I had some rarer ones done, so thought it would spread out the cost on the shipping, and get the multi discount. Also, I was convinced at least 50% of these were going to get 85s, others 80, and a couple 75 going on what has been graded 80 previously. Most have been robbed by being given 75. This ultra harsh grading that has started happening, especially on the cards, will mean I too will be in no hurry to send stuff to be graded in future. My 80 Gamorrean Guard POTF AFA 80 went for £1255 on eBay earlier this year, and an 85 just went recently for £3300. Really?? Triple for just 5 points more for something that may have been graded several years ago, so maybe in worse condition than my recently graded 80? I used to be a big advocate of the AFA but that is quickly being eroded.

Sorry mate to read about that :shock: I like to have the moc in the hand and not have them in a sealed afa box :wink:
