AFA Loose Figures

i am in the market for some loose graded figures. I cant seem to find to many of them. Ive check evilbay and there is only a few. Ive check a number of sites and they are never updated and are always sold out. Where is the best place to look for them. If any one reading this has some to part with let me know. I just enjoy them in the cases so grade does not matter. Also is there anyone that makes the cases for loose figures. And does AFA grade vechiels loose like the do figures.

thanks for any info

You might not want to hear this, but the best place, potentially, is to just buy rough condition MOC figures and have them graded loose uncirculated. The loose AFA market has gotten better, but it is a smaller market without many dealers willing to commit the resources for the cost. It might be better for you to find your own figures, and have them loose graded.

If you're really hard up for pieces, I have a V2 Snake Eyes AFA 90 loose. Feel free to make me an offer via PM.

Be wary when buying graded loose figures. AFA has been known to grade figures with accessory pack weapons, as well as bootleg figures.

These mistakes haven't taken a real toll on resale value of AFA graded items overall, but it bears mention that you will always - even on a graded item - want to look at the pictures carefully when purchasing.
