So What is an AFA graded figure?

A figure graded by AFA gives you the confidence and peace of mind to know that the figure is authentic and has been properly graded by a professional.

Once a figure is AFA graded, it is carefully cased inside one an AFA durable acrylic case. It is then completely sealed from human contact, unless someone makes the conscious choice of breaking it out of the case. Therefore, the figure is kept in the same condition as it was when it was graded. It will not be touched by human hands and then hard acrylic prevents it from sustaining any additional creases, bubble dings, or other damage.

AFA uses only the finest quality acrylic and materials when casing the figures. In addition, the design of the AFA case is unique and pleasing to the eye. For these reasons, an action figure graded and cased by AFA makes a very nice display piece for any collection.

The AFA Gold level consists of the grades 100, 95, and 90. The select few figures that receive these grades are among the highest quality in existence. A very small percentage of figures submitted to AFA receive a Gold grade. The flaws are very minor, very subtle, and are sometimes very hard to identify with the naked eye. 

The AFA Silver level consists of the grades 85, 80, and 75. The figures that receive these grades are in excellent condition. A figure graded an 85 will often be referred to as 'case fresh' and should be very close to gold level condition. The term 'case fresh' is certainly justifiable as the average figure pulled from a sealed case will grade an 85 due to small flaws which occur when the figures are packaged or shipped in the case. The average figure pulled from a store shelf is usually an 80, which represents a nice speciman with minor flaws apparent upon close inspection. The final Silver level grade, a 75, represents an item with more minor flaws than the average Silver level piece. An item grading 75 does have significant wear but does not have major flaws which would draw the eye to them at first glance.

The subgrades for AFA are Card, Blister, and Figure. The goal of the subgrades is to further define the condition of a particular figure. Once the grade has been established, the grader will then assign individual grades for the card, the blister, and the figure. The overall grade is NOT an average of these three grades.

Figure/Vehicle

The actual figure will be considered mint unless there exists a defect that detracts from its overall eye appeal. Defects include paint wear, discoloration, over-spray, fading or dismemberment. If the carded figure comes with a collector coin, trading card or other insert, they will also be rated against overall eye appeal.

Blister/Window

The blister will be judged against dents, scratches, fading, yellowing, clouding, sticker residue, tearing, cuts, lifting, soiling, rub marks, crushing, gluing , factory cut and foreign items (ink mark or staple etc.).

Cardback/Box

The backer card will be judged against creasing, bending, rolling, tearing, scuffing, scratching, lifting, print marks, loss of gloss, soiling, discoloring, edge wear, nicks, punctures, ink or foreign markings, peg hole punch, tape repair, focus, price sticker, sticker tear, sticker residue, water damage, bubbling and attached foreign objects.

YELLOWING: Since yellowing of the blister occasionally occurs and can worsen over time AFA will designate a grade with a "Y" if any signs of yellowing exist.

UNCIRCULATED: Uncirculated is a toy item that has never been handled nor circulated within the market after final completion at the factory. The Uncirculated identifier on the AFA grading label assures the collector that the figure went from its original packaging within a factory sealed case (or even right off the factory line) to its museum quality AFA protective case. AFA wears protective gloves when handling Uncirculated items to ensure that your figures remain untouched since they were packaged at the factory.The figure is graded on the same AFA scale as regular submissions except with the "U" designation before the grade.

Thank you and have a great day!
