Just a general question on AFA grading and to get a feel of forum members take on it.
A great deal of the Star Wars guys seem to be crazy about getting things graded. Personally I think it's a complete waste of time and money just have someone tell you what condition your collectables are in. I mean we can see these things for ourselves. As long as it's placed in that protective acrylic case or star case, then it's all well and good. I've even noticed comments in the past like 'AFA got that one wrong, it should be this or that grade'. I'm left thinking, well if that's the case, why are you forking out to have it graded in the first place? Apart from a few other points and opinions, I really do think it's pointless and a bit of a con.
Thoughts????
