I know that a lot of people on here will have different views but I have certainly felt in the past couple of years that UKG have really taken a big step forward and have certainly come out of the AFA shadow.
I have figures and playsets that are graded by both but there seems to be a lot more focus on UKG nowadays, the job they do is excellent and any issues, Steve will normally contact you and go through them, he does with me anyway!!! This hobby is big business now and I like any other collector out there just wants consistency, for me, AFA lacks this, I have had personal experience of this and have heard many stories that backs up my claim.
I know a couple of people who have good collections and are in the process of getting AFA figures re-graded by UKG, they are very particular (like many of us weird star wars collectors), and simply see it as enhancing their collection, which I can fully understand.
I now think that UK and Worldwide collectors have another great option in UKG and that rare pieces can remain in the UK without the risk of being sent to USA, I for one am extremely pleased as valuable items can be dropped off in person.
