question about AFA grading Star Wars

[toys2cool]

Hey guys,

does anyone here know of how good AFA grading is about catching fakes,like recards or repros? on Star Wars figures? I know they aren't that good when it comes to megos and He-man.But I usually hear good things about Gi joes and Star Wars.Just curious?
thanx

wow didn't know that about the employees

I've just been noticing so many recards and fakes on ebay that I wonder if a few get by with out them noticing

It would be good to send a fake just to see if they catch it

That and I just got a small lot of graded figures and want to make sure it's all good.

So keep an eye out guys cause I'll be listing them here first.

Fake ones?

I know for certain at least one high end fake got past AFA a few years ago.

It was a 12 back Vader with the DT lightsaber.

Do you think you could get away with buying a fake with fake money?

I have a vintage figure on a 21 back STAR WARS BOBAFETT Spaceshot pic that got passed them as well on a repro card.I freaked out but I guess it depends on who grades them.I have 4-5 repro Fetts that look real I put my friends to the test!!! Thats why I'm a little scared to buy things from evilbay.
