U grade piss takes

Lol. "No banging your head on the display case please! It contains a rare Mary Worth!" :lol: :lol:

Ive had some terrible deals on ebay with non descriptive items or a c9 which was more a c7 etc.

AFA is good for that purpose, and it also adds protection and value to an item.

If you just wanted protection you can buy the case from oscars or UKG ect, but for peace of mind you cant beat a graded example.

But as always...the prices are rising and its not cheap to grade now, especially from the Uk. So afa items are commanding a bigger premium....and so it goes on.

forums like this, tig, swcc and rs are by far the best place to buy and sell now.

Yeah I take your point. I have had one or two bad experiences wih supposed c 9's. :wink:

No personal digs at anyone at AFA. For some reason the AFA conjures up images of Al from Al's Toy Barn in Toy Story 2!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pretty much............Comic Book guy from the Simpsons.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Caswellbot]

Your right Plantman. Its a sad state of affairs!

 

[Lee Gregory]

I think the AFA is either something you like or dislike there is no middle ground,personally I prefer to buy graded figures.I've got a few I want to send for grading but because of their value I just haven't got theballs to risk them getting damaged or lost ect.

Back on topic...thought this was worth a mention.

I sold a German ESB 45 back Bossk with straight 90 subs for £175 a while back.How can this ever be worth this much??????

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[plantman]

It beggars belief doesnt it!!

i know what i would buy. and i could certainly buy a lot more for £400 than a loose Bossk

 

[plantman]

Keep this thread alive n'all

 

[Caswellbot]

Yeah but just look at how many Ebay Plus Points you could earn! :roll:

 

[chazgreentooth]

:lol: I think I know a couple of collectors that might consider shelling out that much. INSANE! :lol:

 

[tiefighterboy]

stupid cunts.

 

[Capetown]

This is making me sick:

 

[tiefighterboy]

Stupid shite....and the ****ing stupid cunts that buy it.

 

[PGowdy]

Agree with TFB but also, i don't think they'll sell. It's almost getting to the point where UGrades are selling for about the same as regular loose graded which is the way it should be. There's no real difference to the two things.

I saw somene selling a U LL Imperial Commander on RS the other day. FFS there are few enough LL cards around as it is without butchering it for a fecking U grade. :twisted: :evil:

 

[plantman]

why would you want it in that great big frigging acrylic shite i dont know.

like ive always said though, its the idiotic tossers who think thats it great that will buy it....id rather have a minty loose one for £15 personally

I think that was a cut card, (at least a dozen different cut cards sold on ebay relatively recently) & cut cards are protected now.

 

[weasel]

I hope so, but still.......
