This sells well on on RS I think. Seller could do with introducing himself here first before launching into his sale :wink:

Fair play to the fella for compiling freely available information for lazy arses. Is actually worthwhile as a longitudinal study into the prices of graded figures. If he had stated it earlier it would be quite interesting seeing the increase in prices for graded stuff - I'm sure that investment seller in the States could then use it for forecasting profits on vintage stuff.

Sorry, I should have introduced myself.
I collect lots of things. Mainly PSA graded trading cards. I like 1980s NHL hockey.
I also enjoy collecting graded CGC comic books.
And I have recently started collecting graded Star Wars from Action Figure Authority (AFA: Toygrader.com)
People always ask me why I only collect graded items. I do not have a simple answer. First of all there are not many comic book or baseball card stores around here. When the market crashed in the late 1990s, the shops disappeared. And I have yet to find a shop that sells vintage Star Wars collectibles. Therefore, in order to collect I buy on eBay. And buying sight unseen is unnerving for me. So buying something that has been graded by a third party takes some of the gamble out of the equation. I know what your thinking: grading is subjective. I agree, grading is very subjective; but professional grading is, in my opinion, safer than buying blindly. Or buying something, finding out it was described badly in the eBay description, then having to pay return shipping and waiting for PayPal to refund your money. Professional grading is done by someone who is educated: someone who has some idea of the nuances of condition.

So, I have, in my spare time, compiled several Excel spreadsheets which gather data regarding the sales on eBay of AFA graded Star Wars vintage action figures. The guide may be a curiosity to most people. Other people who I sell it to use it to price their items they wish to sell. And still others use it to gauge prices of items they want to purchase.

Basically it involves a lot of data entry. It is not rocket science. But right now there is not a price guide available to anyone who wants to collect AFA graded Star Wars action figures. I am providing that service for $15.

Not quite right, AFA had been doing business on a kitchen table, sometimes they are so wrong when heading stuff. Sometimes if you compare two or three pieces you can't tell why they were graded equally. star wars figures with very bad Discoloration, eg Luke Farmboy, we're given high grades.

I collect by buying in forums, these are reliable, trustworthy people, some are already friends by now.

I agree, so far I have a very positive experience with buying in this forum. Honestly I don't know what to think about AFA grading.

What's weirder is that they are all encapsulated in acrylic with a third-party grade.
