Even if AFA don't u grade people will still open them themselves and submit in the hope of obtaining a 90 Gold as the premium people are willing to pay for those is astonishing. Still I agree it's a welcome statement long overdue.TK-7785 said:This is excellent news! However, call me suspicious but will this actually stop the opening of sealed items? The wording is somewhat ambiguous in this regard.
If someone is chasing a 90 grade I assume they can still request a MOC is opened in the hopes of getting a 90? AFA would more than likely oblige. I'd like to hear confirmation that AFA will stop opening original sealed items regardless of what arbitrary letter and number combination they assign.

The answer of a cynic, :wink: but I truly believe you are 100% correct!Maybe sceptical but I wonder whether this decision is being taken with maybe the fact that they no longer get many people requesting ugrades so by banning the procedure gives them good publicity across many forums and facebook groups whilst not affecting their profits. If Ugrading was at it's peak I doubt they would be taking this decision.
