Hi Steve yeah the Kraken is my best AF carded figure and it took me ages to find a mint one like this I also got my S.A.S Panther sealed and S.A.S Silent Attack sealed off the same guy all mint wahooo(sorry for the excitment)
Anyway yeah I can do any case any size you can have them just sealed up and none graded or graded we make this option as not everybody wants grading but some want their items casing up to protect them from getting damaged.
But if your after slide back cases for larger cards then we are currently looking into doing them as they take ages to make and not particuly cost effect.. :kraken:

Hi Steve,

These are the Oscars acrylic cases that I [and SteveD] have been using.

If I sent you one, could you make exact replicas?

Having invested in 50-odd of Oscars cases I don't want to change the type or design.

If so, I'd be interested in getting some from you. The current US exchange rate makes them very expensive, plus the added postage of course.

Would you be able to keep us all posted? I like the cases I have already but thinner ones would be a bonus too. I would also go for some of the bigger ones SteveD was talking about as well (when funds allow!)

Just like the rest of us........ hooked. Its always a good laugh with lots of good info as well. The best thing (IMHO) has to be the willingness of the members to help each other out.

Thanks, BFTB is one of the least bitchy forums I have come across, which I am very glad of.

Do please make yourself at home Steve, my personal favourites are in the Creativity section; Customs, The Colouring Project and of course the utterly mental Mutour.

I'd be very interested to know how you go about grading, or more specifically pricing stuff. Some on the recent AFA Graders estimates on ebay have raised more than a few eyebrows here.

Hi Steve - and although I definitely need some of your fatter cases for my BSG figures (I'll be in touch seperately about them) I'd definitely like to second Pauls post that some thinner "Oscars" or "AFA" style cases would be very welcome from a UK source - so far I've purchased almost 100 from the States but excessive postage costs, a lousy exchange rate and the post office constantly now hitting me with import charges has meant I have to draw a line under it. I tried sourcing them from all over the UK, even bespoke fabrication from a few factories, with very little success. I still need a good few more to make everything uniform and tidy in my brand new (and rather full) "Geek Room" (the missus words, not mine). Once I've got the room sorted I'll know roughly the amounts I need so will count up to give a rough idea?

Can custom sizes be aranged (Mego - Dukes of Hazzard carded figures) sized - slightly smaller than AF/SW cards? If not I can feel some case modification coming on!

And the larger AF boat patrol sized cases are a definite on my "wants" list.

PS - back at work today - so first post back at a PC after weeks away over Xmas, and having to log in via phone (why do BT take two weeks to restore a home broadband connection after a house move, but insist on charging me for the whole month? Robbing swines!!!). It's good to be back!!!!!! (excessive exclamation marks as they've built up over the Xmas period)
