Vintage Kenner / Re: AFA - Good or Bad?

The only good thing I will say, like others have said, is that they provide some kind of insurance.
I live in the UK, and since SW figures disappeared from boot sales ("UK" for yard sales, flea markets etc), Ebay is practically my only outlet to buy figures.
Having said that, you can't view the figures yourself. Being informed definitely helps, and I have e-mailed countless Ebay novies to let them know they are bidding on blatant fake items. However, even the most informed person can be faked. Fakers are getting better, and if you're gonna shell out $700 for a 21-Bk Boba Fett, you wanna know it's the real deal.
