Looking for AFA answers

[Sowth]

From what I've seen Bill, this works well with popular characters such as Superman, Batman etc. These are characters that non mego collectors buy and if they're into Star Wars then it makes sense they'd buy an AFA graded Hulk.

It doesn't seem to do squat for rarer mego figures or common items, most likely because the main audience for such things is the Mego collector.

Good point about the character collectors Brian, I'm sure it's a "peace of mind" thing for non-Mego collector's eyes.

Not so sure that some high grade graded Kresges wouldn't go for some crazy prices though. Would be interesting to see how they would go. Have some even been graded?

Cheers,
Will


EDIT: Just checked the AFA "Population Report", apparently 4 Kresge cards have been graded, Spiderman 75, Superman (Large Emblem) 80, Tarzan AFA 80 & Supergirl 85. Anyone know if these were on the 'bay at some stage?

graded figures.

I would have to say.I like to send my carded figures in.I like the cases.decal in the corner to show the grade.They look good lined up on there shelf.plus it makes it easier to show to people.I will never sell.I just like the display factor.Plus its cool to say it graded a 85+

That would actually make sense with AFA purchasers being people with little Mego knowledge. They would als o be those drawn to AFA auctions.

The seller had much loftier hopes for his AFA Mego's,
as they've been listed and relisted several times with no action.

His high BIN's probably had a lot to do with it.

My humble opinion is AFA is only good for throwing your money away and making the AFA people richer(I think it is ran by the same family that owns Wizard Publishing?).Collect for fun and don't worry about the monetary values.
