Here's some evidence that MOC's are good for a while yet:
Palitoy Luke Bespin sold at Vectis, shipped to dealer in America, send to AFA for grading, returned to dealer, sold on ebay, shipped to Arizona, bought by someone in UK and shipped to them. All within the space of about a month.
I guess we don't know if there's any underlying damage now from several thousand air miles, but the fact that it's at least still a MOC and not a loose figure and a cardback is a good sign for all MOC collectors :lol:
