I really need help figuring out how to submit my Transformer to AFA. I cant figure out their VERY COMPLEX submission forms. It is the movie Starscream so you will know the size. Can someone PLEASE help me out on this because I have him all boxed up to go but the form keeps putting me off.
Try http://www.collectorsourcegrading.com They have a quick turnaround and great customer service. Not to mention their submission form is not intimidating.
Are you using the manual paper form or the online form? The online form is a lot easier to use. You can access it here: http://www.toygrader.com/login.aspx First register, then login, then click on "Create New Submission". It's pretty easy to use, just like a normal web form. In the end it creates a PDF for you that you just print, and then you fill in the payment information with a pen on the printed form. As for the tier to pick, since it's not a carded figure (and it's not something they get a lot of like G1 cars/jets), you have to pick from "PACKAGED TOYS of CUSTOM SIZES" in the middle of the page, here: http://www.toygrader.com/gradingcostpackaged.aspx Measure the length/width/height to figure out which category it's in ("Custom1", "Custom 2", etc.) Then pick among the different tiers in that row depending on how fast you need it returned to you. And regarding fields in the form describing the toy like "Series", and "Title", etc.--Just fill it in to the best of your ability. It's not really a big deal if you get the fields mixed up or leave some blank. They will figure out what toy it is just by looking at it. Do you have any specific questions?
