AFA Graded Turtles?

Krueger · 10-02-2007, 10:35 PM

Does anyone have any AFA graded turtle figures? I always thought it would be cool to get some of mine graded especially since they'd be more protected. I know they are worth more but I'd rather buy more figures with what it costs to get it done, ha.

Yea, graded figures have not really not taken off with the TMNT line...i've only seen a handful over the years, and I want to say that they have all been original Shredders...I really have no desire to get mine graded but who knows...

Same here, I have a couple of figs I'd like to send but like Krueger said. I'd rather spend that money on more toys!

? Maybe when I'm a millionaire I'll send over a truck load of toys to get graded

Actually I remember there being an AFA 85 Leo oand a couple other figs on Ebay a long time ago. They went for around $80+ I think

Seems like a waste of money to me...

I've seriously considered this... for my Ninja Action Mike and my Shogons Shoate and Triceraton. I'm confident that I could score an AFA 80 or better, though I've never sent any figures in so I could be wrong. I'm hella picky and they certainly look dead mint to my trained eyes.

But it all comes down to cost. They don't grade those for nothing... and the more valuable they consider it, the more it's gonna cost. It's all on a tier scale and looked a little confusing... at least to me. TMNT also falls under the custom category I believe, which is the most expensive one.

I'm going to wait and see if they ever take off. When I start seeing graded Mutant Militia and Re-Issues, I'll be all over it.
