About AFA
AFA graded action figures have increased in popularity as many collectors
want an independent 3rd party to professionally rate (grade), then preserve the quality of action figures beyond
the basic figure case. AFA has their own unique grading system. AFA examines each figure for visual and microscopic
flaws, certifying authenticity while wearing gloves.
All AFA items come in a custom AFA sealed acrylic case with a unique verifiable AFA serial number and AFA hologram
seal. |

What is "Proof
Uncirculated?"
PROOF UNCIRCULATED
- Meaning the items never hit the store shelves; came from their original factory sealed case and only opened and
authenticated by the 3rd party grader, AFA.
Most collectors buy toys at retail stores or on-line. Fewer collectors buy entire cases which are normally only
obtained from dealers, and cost more because one is buying typically 12 figures in a case.
Not all dealers sell factory sealed cases mostly because individuals may not always want to buy an entire cases,
as they might just want one or a few choice items that came in that case.
A premium is or should be awarded to distinguish the rarity and the cost on having an entire case purchased even
if one item is graded from the case.
We believe that authenticated sealed factory cases have a theoretical value higher than single "off the store
shelf" figures.
This is due to the fact that Proof Uncirculated items have never been mass handled by the retail public.
Once a factory sealed case has been authenticated, the "U" grade meaning "Uncirculated" is
added to the final grade.
Sometimes U-grades don't fully realize their potential value right away. But we believe that over time, as both
most cases are opened, and most figures are opened and played with, this leaves limited odds that U-grades will
be in the public domain.
Naturally, the higher the grade, and more unique the item, and harder to get, the greater potential in collector
value.
All AFA items come in a custom AFA sealed acrylic case with a unique verifiable AFA serial number and AFA hologram
seal.
Please note, just like any investment, we are not able to guarantee the future value of anything we sell. |
