I'm no fan of AFA grading, but I agree with G4MVP, people can collect how they want, if they have the bones to collect and pay for only AFA graded items, go for it. I personally collect loose, cause I like to 'play' with my toys, and I can also replace those pesky o-rings when they dry out
. I'm more concerned with scalpers who go into stores, buy out all of the hard to find figs, and then sell them on E-Bay or at local toy shows for a premium. AFA is for those who can afford it.
