    Yes, that's the one. As for answering questions that's why I'm here (I do work for CGA), although I'm not a grader so my answers could be limited depending.

    I once met this AFA grader at a convention. His name was Chad. He was a really nice guy. He collected Hot Wheels as well. I told him I had over 50 pieces at the time. Well it's over three times that amount now.

    I think Chad is a Transformers collector too, or at least has an interest in them.

    All the best

    i'd be absolutely furious about those marks.

    also.. this talk about "history" and "historical".. this isn't the declaration of independence.. it's not the first toy ever made.. it's a 30 year old transformer. sorry.. just a little perspective.

    I'm not sure who you are referring to, but in any article I write about TFs, the use of the term 'historical' is in my opinion completely relevant in the context of Transformers which started 30 or more years ago. Since I only write in the context of Transformers, not the entirety of human history, it seems wholly appropriate to me *shrug*.

    All the best

    Really!!??

    This is a Transformer board, he's not talking about the liberation/independence of a country. Anything referring to past events is history and historical means "of or concerning history; concerning past events." I think Maz's perspective is just fine.
