Vintage Kenner / Re: AFA - Good or Bad?
« on: December 11, 2005, 11:30 PM »
I like the idea of having certain pieces authenticated.
I'd go to Tom Derby before I went to AFA though as AFA has been known to make mistakes on their labels.
Most of all, there have been figures that have broken through the bubbles or ripped off the cards, 21 back Fett, ESB small headed Han Solo. You go from having a figure worth thousands to something worth dollars.
I also can't stand the AFA labels that are above the MOC and can be seen from across the room. Are you a Star Wars collector or a label collector?? And those loose figure cases are ugly, not to mention the fact that people are sending in baggy and poor MOC figures to be opened, and the price realized usually isn't any greater than the going rate for the baggy/MOC.
My 2 ¢.

My one previous to that had a paperback book fall off a shelf onto the top. Bye bye top section.
