You guys see the guy who made furniture out of fedex boxes? I bet he has a bookcase that could be used for TF's.

I wonder how much it would cost to get the entire TFC AFA graded? Just shipping would be a bitch.

Looks expensive as hell. Pricing increases as service speed increases. The measurement rules are a bit deceiving when it comes to TFC's. The TFC's I have seen AFA graded have the front flap opened so that you can see the window. That has to considerably increase the tiered charges based on measurement.

I'm thinking that a regular size TFC reissue like Hot Rod would cost $55 with a turnaround of 35-45 business days.

Damn. It'll cost more to have them graded than I paid for.

I have heard that Toygrader makes appearances at toy/comic conventions. You can bring in your stuff, and they grade and case it on location. I don't know how much that costs though.

The TF Plasti-crack crew should start our own TF specific grading service. We find a case supplier online...Log all our grades into an Access Database and issue serial numbers...get a brother P-Touch labeler...

I can't believe that someone would pay that much. Granted it is a comprehensive collection, but I don't think it can be called "complete". It's missing Astrotrain.

Now that's a deal

No picture though. It may be MISB, but I wonder if it's beat. But then for that price, who cares?

You're passing on the deal? Ok. I'm pulling the trigger before this is gone. At $10 this won't be up long.

EDIT: Trigger pulled. If you feel the need for Dirge in the future, you know where to find one.

Even though I really don't need it...DIRGE FOR $10!!!!! :crazyr: Cheapest Plasti-crack fix ever.
