Uncirculated and i dont mean loose figures

[Ron]

Is there any uncirculated mint on card figures on there that have been graded. I know its easy to get a loose figure graded as uncirculated just let AFA rip the card open also seen a lot off mini-rigs given the U grade. There is a Jabba the hutt on ebay that been given the U grade

Jabba it is possible to get a uncirculated mint on card figure. There could be people out there that bought boxes of figures mint on card never opened the box for 20-30 years then got the bos sent off for AFA to open and grade each off the mint on card as uncirculated. I have seen a lot off mini-rigs for sale as graded as uncirculated. I have 2. Even for the jabba sett i posted link too. Its been given a grade off U 80. Seams a bit harsh to me. But is there any other mint on card figure or vehicle or playset that have been given the U grade

 

[jabbawokkie]

yeah but once they pass it on and they would have opened the box within 30 years its been circulated :wink:

Jabba i know what ypou mean. But lots off people go for AFA loose figues as being as uncirculated just means no ones grubby paws have touched them. As AFA use gloves when thery open bubbles and handeling the loose figures. It the same as the stuff comming from lucas film archives its not been handeled since the day it was made. There must be people out there that has still the sealed boxes that came from the factories. I know robbie wan got a sealed box full off mini-rigs un opened

Theres been loads of boxes of mini-rigs, speeder bikes etc that have received the U grade. Trying to get a high grade from one of those boxes is difficult though as the cases have usually been bashed about over the years. Thats why most are 80's with occassional 85's. There are not many U90's about.

I know of some Meccano MOC figures that have the U Grade, Jawas I think. I'm sure I've seen one on ebay recently.

Edit: I have, Andy Davies has a very nice one 8) : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Star-Wars-Meccano-Jawa-AFA-U90-MOC-Unpunched_W0QQitemZ220184151248QQihZ012QQcategoryZ56306QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem
