Tomorrow will be the hunt video! Thanks for watching!

[@tombowling8646]

Josh, this was a really interesting video. I'm sure I speak for a lot of collectors when I say, I had no idea how any of this worked. Great info, brother!

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Linchpin_TF]

I also had one of my Transformers graded for the first time. This was Beast Wars: Transmetal Megatron one of the Victims of GPS (Gold Plastic Syndrome). He was still in a great condition so it was the best to keep in forever in a Box rather than in pieces.

[@sweggy9672]

I have an TVC Ahsoka Tano from 2012, AFA graded at a 9.0. Here in Australia, believe its only one of a handful and I believe its well worth around 2k AUD. Something I take pride in acquiring, considering I only bought it for $250 AUD at a local toy shop during one of their sales. Nice grades however on your two figs Josh. Hoping to get my Razor Crest eventually, however everything takes ages to get here in Australia.

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Australia!? That’s insane, thank you very much for watching. That Ahsoka is awesome. Congrats on that!

[@vincentdoest7238]

Thank you for this Josh, first time I finally know how the process works.

[@JoshPenceHunts]

No problem man! I’m glad it was somewhat helpful!

[@northernnomad5880]

Hey Josh 👋, that's cool with the figure grading service in package. Most of my collection is loose out of package so I probably wouldn't use it but it's still a cool thing to know is out there.

[@chriswhitlock4398]

CAS will grade and encase loose figures as well! They look amazing!

[@Fitteddon38]

I got my grogu coming from ebay and want to send it to them….when it arrives I shall figure out how to do it online Lol Good video sir

[@BirdsR]

Wow 90 and 95 on razor crest figures. Willing to bet they fetch nice money down the road.

[@jamesstripling7178]

As a new collector which series do you think would be the most valuable down the road such as Star Wars, Super Man etc

[@ericheinke2865]

Like to get stuff graded soon. Like CAS over AFA

[@GeneralKenobisBunker]

So awesome! I wish my figures were in better shape, both came with veining and bent cards. Great idea and great scores!

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Thanks!

[@davidprice6994]

Always a pleasure to watch you my friend. Great grading video

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Thank you kindly

[@greyeyed123]

It's not going to be mint 10 years from now, but there will be 10 million of them 10 years from now in MINT condition because everyone is thinking the same thing at the same time now. (I remember getting into baseball card collecting in the late '80s, thinking I would be rich! All my friends and cousins were doing the same thing! You know what those cards are worth today? Pennies.)

[@Ironlegiontraining]

Funny thing about my Grogu figure is that the punch out section is not black, it was punched from the Mandolorian logo on the card and placed in that location, really weird, just reboxed it and left it.

[@lukestatooinebuyers]

The F in the 3 tier grades stands for Figure

[@Chris-pj1os]

Cool video. I just inherited a pile of vintage star wars figures, and am getting fired up on how great they look, and their values. All are still mint on card. I just need to try and figure out when to decide to spend the money and get them graded. Some are a little beat up (card wear, POP's removed, yellowed blister). I've reached out to a couple KZbin guys about getting help deciding what to grade, but not much feadback yet. Do you have any idea where I might be able to research that kind of thing?

[@TheArtKemist]

cool but curious would you have gotten a higher grade if you used gloves and did not have fingerprints on the card and bubble ?

[@PremiumToyCollect]

Let’s Go!!

[@lukestatooinebuyers]

I think AFA is better cause they’re more strict and cheaper than CAS. If that obi wan was graded at AFA it would’ve gotten a lower grade cause the autograph counts as a flaw

[@chriswhitlock4398]

Obviously everyone has a different opinion about autographs. They aren’t for everyone. At CAS we give autographs a gold label. The gold label is designed for signed items. With a gold label we assign the grade and do not take into consideration the autograph. To autograph fans, the signature is not damage, it’s a marking that they feel enhances the piece. Conversely if a random person wrote their name on the piece, it wouldn’t get the gold label and would be considered damage. The gold label allows fans of signatures to get their pieces graded and to protect the integrity and provenance of the piece

[@Caleb.Collects98]

I might bring my Razorcrest figures and get them graded.....possibly bring my original 1979 Kenner Blue Snaggletooth.

[@themyth627]

We love you Josh

[@stife01]

Gz very cool

[@tsctoys3874]

Very nice!

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Thank you 🤝

[@ernestmuric6719]

A 90 grade is pretty much the pinnacle for a graded figure. You could grade 100 figures and still not get a 95 . If your figure received a 90 grade with cas, it could possibly get a lower grade by AFA. And that proves grading is subjective. It's funny you didn't get a 95 in any of the 3 categories when you got 90 across the board for grogu. "F" means figure got 90.

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Sweet! Thanks for the info man. I’m pretty much in pre school when it comes to knowing anything about grading figures.

[@omegashenron8]

I still don't really understand the point of grading modern figures unless it's a super limited, extremely low production run figure. Collecting is so big now and most figures are produced in such high numbers that most modern figures won't be worth much, If anything in the future. Not knocking you or anyone that grades stuff though. Just my opinion and views on it.

[@JoshPenceHunts]

It’s what we call a healthy discussion brother!

[@omegashenron8]

@@JoshPenceHunts no doubt!

[@chriswhitlock4398]

We are seeing a lot of modern figures getting graded now. Many of them are nearly impossible to find at retail. Stores are ordering less. The volume is much smaller then we probably realize.

[@omegashenron8]

@@chriswhitlock4398 Just because they are hard to find at retail does not mean that less figures are getting made or stores are ordering less. Collecting has gotten much bigger since pre-covid so you have even more collectors gunning for these. Not only that but scalping has also grown in popularity too across the board when it comes to collectibles. So you have even more scalpers trying to make a quick buck than before. Then due to all of the above, you have collectors buying multiples of in demand figures if they see them in the wild, even if they don't collect that line in order to re-sell or trade at a later time. It's all creating this scarcity that's artificial. The only way to fix this is for Hasbro to do bigger production runs of their stuff, but the problem with that is outside of the most in demand figures, the rest tend to peg warm until they're clearanced.

[@flavioescobar9165]

Modern figs will eventually become vintage retro in the future. Then again I’m 20 so I’ll prob see these become old

[@TheHotredfox]

do you think there is too many people collecting and doing the same as you so in the future they will not be as worth as much. and as your collection is big do you think you would ever get back what you spent on them in the future

[@JoshPenceHunts]

That’s actually a great question!

[@chriswhitlock4398]

Some modern figures are quite limited and hard to find at retail. Also, storing them over the years can lead to unintended damage. Grading can help keep the unintended storage damage from happening.

[@TheHotredfox]

@@chriswhitlock4398 hi yes that's true some figures are hard to find and get but when you look at it how many people will be collecting in the future is this collecting for the love of it or for future profit. do you think its more of looking for that rare figure or money its a hard one to know how the future will be for figures but its always nice to have that one figure that stands out and nice feeling when you get one :)

[@andy_bananas]

May do this at ICCC with my Palpatine figure…

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Ooooooo 😳

[@chriswhitlock4398]

Maybe even get it signed first! That’s what I’m doing!

[@Sparkykelly1]

So fresh out of the box and the Jawa was only at 95? its strange how they come up with these grades. I dont believe in grading myself as its an inflation added to a figure by an unknown authority. I get preserving the figs, and they display cool. But grading figs shoots the cost of the fig up, compared to the same fig not graded, even if its in the same condition. Both exactly the same fig but a huge difference in resell price. If that makes sense.

[@JoshPenceHunts]

Right on. I get ya, it was quite the learning experience for me too!

[@SpiceRunnersLounge]

How much do they charge for service?

[@JoshPenceHunts]

I think it is about $60+shipping

[@johnturner9341]

What was cost on grading figures?

[@JoshPenceHunts]

I linked the website in the description 🤙🏻

[@brianpollock5323]

Any NHL McFarlane collectors ? Looking for Detroit Red Wings.

[@tstredt4828]

Modern figs should be at least a 90, if not a 95. Great figs to have graded though. Over the years, I’ve been getting my childhood Vintage Kenner Star Wars figures graded. I just like knowing they are preserved and look great on display.
