AFA Loose Figure cases missing corners

itfciain · Jul 5, 2014

As I am not into AFA loose figures the I don't know if this is right not but have been told that the cases are missing their corners on the back in order to let the case 'breathe' - is this right ?

Mate, I would say that is incorrect.
Looking at the picture, the break in the case, doesn't even open into the inside, so where's the airflow?

I also can't remember having missing corners on the ones i've owned in the past.

Please bare in mind, I maybe talking bollocks :wink:

What did the Yak score?

It was a 90 but was wedged into the case and looked ****. It isn't actually mine - one of the guys on FB that I'd sold to asked if he could have it sent to me as the seller wouldn't ship to him. When it arrived it was missing the corners - I told the buyer this and the seller said it was be an air hole designed to let the case breathe - apparently

Said I'd ask on here if this was true

They do leave a little gap for airflow in the back of carded cases but I am not sure about loose cases?

I've only ever owned one AFA graded loose figure and I can't remember if it had a bit missing like that..sorry Iain!

The corners missing on AFA cases is perfectly normal I had I full set of loose figures graded about 4 years ago and they all have corners missing at the bottom. Also Toygrader don't glue the back bottom of cases to allow airflow incase any moisture is trapped in the case causing condensation. Hope this helps, finally a subject I no something about.

UKG do it also, it's standard on loose graded, I think it's for air flow, should only be the one corner mind
