    Acrylic vintage blaster display

    If we get any additional of those displays to do as a result of this thread and your comments, you get one free loose figure graded by us, how about that? :D As for that check....... :?: To be honest, that display is one of my favorite things we have ever done for a collector.

    CAS's answer to the U-grade, the "Preserved Grade"

    New "Preserved Grade" Designation: At CAS, preservation is of paramount importance. For that reason, we are thrilled to announce our new "Preserved Grade" designation, which we hope will reduce the incentive for collectors to uncirculated grade ("U-grade") cut card and "beater" MOCs (that is...

    We already do provide that service, Rich. At a lower cost than if you were just to send a raw (ungraded) item in: http://collectorarchive.com/latest/recase/

    I have joined CAS's ownership team - PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN HELP YOU OR IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SEE

    Even before the owners at CAS approached me this April to join their ownership team, I was a huge believer in CAS and the fine products we produce. Imporantly, the turn around time is fast, CAS doesn't u-grade MOC or baggie figures, and all items are automatically encased in 99% UV resistant...

    UKG is a great service; I agree with you 100%. Just want to clarify that when a previously owned item is sent to us or anyone else outside of Europe for appraisal / archiving / etc purposes, there should be no VAT. It isn't a purchase of a new item that should be subject to tax. We mark our...

    We have already done that for a lot of collectors that prefer our 99% UV resistant cases over the AFA ones, and would be happy to do it for anyone that wants us to do so.

    Summer Lull

    I feel like this always happens this time of year - hobby slows down during the summer as folks are on holiday or spending their money getting ready for one.

    I really like the idea, Edd, and if it would help collectors, we would be thrilled to do it. I could see more than a few people complaining that we are messing with the integrity of the piece by adding new tape to it, but if it's to maintain the seal for something it is confirmed by us to still...

    Prevention on cracking bubbles?

    One option that may help is the bubble protector we offer at CAS. It is a superior product to prior designs, as the protector is attached to the base of the case for more stability, and the protector is also snug (but not too snug) against the bubble to prevent further damage. here is is a pic...

    Gary Appleby?

    I have my suspicions about what happened here, but I want to wait and see what explanation he offers before I jump to any conclusions. No matter how bad a situation he was in, it's no excuse to take money from the group. Be interested to know if any of you guys in the UK have ever heard of the...

    Huge AFA graded production collection to be auctioned off later in the year

    An amazing assortment of rare, cool stuff all comes up at the same time, and people complain about how profile sales suck and the reasons people they assume to be wealthy (without knowing for sure they are) get bored and sell off. Can't we just enjoy seeing all this stuff go up at the same...
