[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 218875, member: 4095"] One thing that seems fine to me about U grading (possibly the only thing about the whole process), is if you have a mailer that's still sealed and then the baggies are taken out and graded. I don't mean open up the baggies, just leave them as they are. That way you get to see the figure on display, with the mailer and any paperwork and you're not just stuck with looking at a box telling you what's inside. Here's an example - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-Emperor-Palpatine-Mailer-AFA-U85-Kenner-Vintage-1984-Bag-Baggy-Baggie-/200923079299?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec7f2e283&nma=true&si=pCTWDF10egFpIOQPvyowAywqb2A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I really can't see a problem with this and I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned earlier and I'm covering old ground. One other thing is how do people feel about AFAing their unopened boxed items? I can see it's a way to keep the box in good condition and also would maybe help with displaying it (as you could stack them with no fear of damage), but I feel like I would always want to see the toy inside at some point (although that would mean breaking the seal).
