About the AFA Grading
 Once
a figure is AFA graded, it is carefully cased inside of a 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,
your figure is kept in the same condition as it was when it was graded.
It will not be touched by human hands and the hard acrylic prevents
it from sustaining any additional creases, bubble dings, or other damage.

The 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 collector who is extremely
condition sensitive will be satisfied with the condition of a Gold
level figure. AFA has recently adopted a "plus grade"
for the silver and gold level scales to better identify items which
are borderline grades. Look for the "+" sign next
AFA grades that are 75 or higher.

The 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.
For most high grade collectors, an 85 is satisfactory. For most
discriminating collectors, an 80 is satisfactory. A 75 will be satisfactory
to those who are not overly concerned with light stresses, small
bubble imperfections, and other flaws which do not jump out at first
glance. Therefore, the Silver level grades do represent a much larger
range than the Gold level grades. AFA has recently adopted a "plus
grade" for the silver and gold level scales to better identify
items which are borderline grades. Look for the "+"
sign next AFA grades that are 75 or higher.

AFA Modern
Grading Scale
The
Modern grading scale is specifically designed to assess the
condition of toys produced from 1995 to the present year. This
scale serves to better assess miniscule flaws which can differentiate
two identical items which are fresh from a case or the store
shelves, by including more grade options at the upper end of
the grading scale. The Modern scale is based on a 10 point system
with additional grade options above 9.0. Case fresh modern items
tend to most frequently receive the grades of 8.5 and higher,
so by including additional high grade options for thegraders
to choose from, this scale has proven to be quite effective
in better evaluating the condition of items produced in the
modern era.
