[QUOTE="PGowdy, post: 129799, member: 2042"] This makes no sense at all. Never understood this argument as surly BEFORE an item is UGraded, ie; still in it's baggie or on it's moc, it has been touched by LESS people than when it's ripped open by the idiots at AFA... no?? The fact that a toy in it's bubble or baggie hasn't been touched in 30 years IS alluring and a fun thing to think. But once a toy has been touched modern day, whether by one, two or three people it's no longer preserved in any way shape or form. A "U"Grade would be more fitting if it was an "H"Grade for "Handled" because that's what they are now. A recently handled toy... "ooh, sweet how much??!" Whatever way you look at it. It is an idiotic and meaningless practice invented by the likes of the AFA to get fools to part with their money. Luckily the vile and destructive habit is dying out, especially in the UK. Hopefully the sense and realisation will spread to the US in time. [/QUOTE]
