No price stickers and it had a really nice flat lying card with a crystal clear bubble etc etc. I picked that piece up for £3000. Its long gone now but if you compare this price and piece to what the last U95 Jawa Vinyl Caped loose figure sold for about 18 months ago to a friend of a friend of a friend. It sounds mad.
Im not bashing anyone here Im just pointing out what people are or were dropping for the (U) designation. I myself would much prefer a sweet carded example or sweet bagged example figure BUT its not for me to tell people what to spend their hard earned money on or to tell them how to collect. My 2 pence worth.

To think it has only being handled buy around 6 people would be a dream, the person who takes it from the production line, then the person who bags it, then the person who opens the bag and passes it to the person who grades it and then onto the person who encases it.
Yes I am being saracstic, what an absolute joke....never touched by Human hands, don't make me laugh :x
If you think about it, anyone has loose figures from childhood are probably more un-circulated than U-grade figures and may have been handled by fewer people
BlueDog said:I believe you guys are misguided in you statements about U Grading.
I have it on good authority that these figures are opened by specially trained armless monkeys who use their highly defined buttocks muscles to gently squeeze said figure from it's original bubble, once freed from it's disgustingly vintage authentic card it is cleansed of any remaining 1970-1980 finite particulates that may remain and transported through the air using telepathic mind control to it's awaiting perspex prison.
Thus never being touched by human hands, a monkeys arse yes, but never a human hand!
