    Really. Is there an extra charge for requesting a "qualified grade"?

    If anyone is interested in Stunticons, I have these three for sale: MOSC w/decoy Breakdown, DeadEnd and Dragstrip. Both Breakdown and DeadEnd are dead mint, Dragstrip has a bit more wear. I am asking 550 for Breakdown, 500 for DeadEnd and 280 for Dragstrip, either gift payment or with 4%. Shipping is a fixed 40 to anywhere (insured and with tracking) Buy all three and I can do a discount. Need more pictures, let me know :)

    All they say is they don't authenticate autographs.

    This thread is like walking into a toy store all those years back. I enjoy seeing the photos which everyone posts. Although it does make me feel old thinking about the age of these beautifully preserved specimens. ;)  Just want to say thank you to everyone for posting these photos!

    Others shown Minerva MISB AFA 80, Getsuii MISB UKG 90, Zauru MISB AFA 75, Loafer MISB UKG 80, Lione MISB UKG 90, Rodney MISB UKG 85, Trizor MISB UKG 85 and Kirk MISB UKG 85.
    Really like Wingspan and Pounces artwork it's different than the US version, and really pops.

    IMG_4255.JPG IMG_4261.JPG IMG_4262.JPG Hi guys! I'm very new to the G1 AFA scene but I've been stalking this thread because I love what I've been seeing and I decided to tip toe into the pool. I've recently grabbed a sealed on card Swerve as my first submission to AFA and I'm wonder what you experts think I will get on this. It's not in the best of shape especially with the glaring defect of someone writing a price on the card, but the bubble is not cracked or crushed. I'm just curious as to what grade you guys think this will get and am excited to see how close you guys get to the mark once I do send this off and get it back!

    That's a real tough one the bubble and toy look good, but I'm sure the writing will really knock it down to a 70, or lower. If you really want him graded do it, but you could just get a slide case. I do like having mine graded because it makes them easier to move around.

    AFA 85 Bluestreak MISB Prerub No grey boarder, one of my prized Transformers, never had Bluestreak as a kid. I got outbid for a NGB Mirage a few years back, wish I'd have bid higher. IMG_4382.JPG

    I was lucky in finding this complete set of Seacons. I've not really seen a graded complete set come up for sale before.

    All are 80s except for Skalor.

    I would never pay the asking price an AFA one commands, so I'm quite happy with this original giftset. Aside from a few issues with the box, it's in pretty good shape.
