[QUOTE="Wreck-It Ralph, post: 513214, member: 8648"] There are inconsistencies in grading and there always will be as one grader might attach a higher weighting to a specific flaw and grade it lower as a result e.g. Litho Tear or a Cracked Bubble and at the end of the day it is someone's opinion. The graders themselves are also evolving as time goes by take AFA when they first started they gave a single grade, then a single grade with three sub grades and recently they have added a 80+ grade which means now it is more difficult to attain an 85 grade. This means figures graded before a certain date would get 85 and figures after the same date would get 80+. I would have hoped after the TT scandal Graders would have upped their game and started looking for restoration like they do in Comics but sadly that did not happen leaving it wide open for TT2.
