why destroy MOCs? Because that's basically what is happening here. Pieces if history destroyed and the figure put in a Perspex case! Pointless and obscene.

Your cases are great but you destroy the history behind the coo links to card backs - ban U grades

u grading needlessly destroys the integrity off otherwise untouched figures, and makes carded figures very difficult to find!

How can you destroy a figure from over 30 years ago that is still on the card. The is Americana history that is being ruined. Please stop. These companies have to know they are doing the wrong thing when ripping into it.

I have collected since a child of 7 and I have routinely dipped back in and out of collecting over the last 20 years. I cannot believe that we are standing back and watching the destruction of carded items because of an economic trend. AFA show the truc collectors that you care and stop this now.

Why would anyone consider this a good thing!? Please stop tearing open moc items and then giving them a u grade. Plenty of nice, loose toys are already available. We don't need anymore. I personally own a complete, loose, beautiful run. All purchased from childhood collections.
Thank you!

Senseless damage to vintage, one of a kind historical items.
