Just made a terrible financial decision and decided to collect a loose AFA collection, (I blame who ever posted that pic of the AFA U90 4LOM). So I was thinking of sending a few of my loose figures off to get graded. Have people found it complicated at first? I was reading the blurb on how to send them off on the AFA site but it fried my head a bit on the costs per figure etc.
I was also thinking of sending these 2 12 backs off to get graded. The Vader has a thin sliver torn on the back about a centimeter long and a millimeter wide. I understand it will automaticly receive no higher than a AFA75 grade on this basis but do you think it will have a fair chance of something approaching this as its in very nice shape apart from that - or do you think a tear of that size would mean I would be looking nearer to something like an AFA 50, in which case I wont bother. I'm hoping the Chewie will get an AFA 80 but its a bit of a lottery judging from the ones I already own.
Also would I be able to send them some pics for some general estimate of the grade?
