[QUOTE="OTB Records, post: 336033, member: 6162"] Thanks to everyone for the posts. Really interesting. In my opinion the yellowing of bubbles is down to chemical reactions within the products used. Because these figures were originally made over a period of years and also made at different factories then the chemical mix for some of the elements (especially the bubbles) will vary. There does seem to be a pattern emerging over time as to which batches are more prone than others. Of course over time most things degrade - that is a given. However, I do find it interesting, especially when it comes to AFA, how bubbles are definitely deteriorating and yellowing over relatively short periods of time. I just find it futile slabbing a figure and giving it a grade when all the time it's deteriorating and there is the possibly that in a few years the grade will have gone down in the case of the bubble which does make up one-third of the total score. :) [/QUOTE]
