- Ok so honestly kinda a boring video 🤣
Skip like 4-5 min if you want to see the end result and ignore my waffle.
Was a fun little adventure and will most likely use again!
If your reading this you rock 🤘

The Willow figs are definitely worth grading!
I think so! Need to wait for the company to start taking on new work. But will do it for sure
Great video mate, what a lot of people don't realise is that carded items are really hard to track down in mint conditon, that's where the value comes from. Anyone can send in a carded figure with dents and splits, but to get an 85+ is pretty tricky. When people say ' how can they be the judges of grades', there underestimating the knowledge these graded companies have, they don't just allow anybody to grade items. Personally I would value these cards at around the £100 each mark, it's possible that you have some of the only graded Demolition Man figs in existence, so could be more valuable. Recently 3 graded biker mice figures went for £900!
£900 just seems madness to me. I can see the benefits for selling obviously people are happy to spend. For me graded stuff is just over priced in most cases.
It would be cool to see what makes the grade. Like an in depth review. Like what stops an item being a90 but can be a 85 etc.
Either way this was just a bit of fun for me and will enjoy having these in my collection 👍
Get Steve Irwin graded! They look awesome. I would definitely pay more for those now - and I’m not even sure why. Something about the acrylic cases, and the fact that they’ve been logged and archived, that makes them feel all the more special... 👍🏻
Haha would love to get him graded if I found another one. I need him loose you never know when one of his phrases will be needed 😂. Yeah there is definitely something about them. I still can’t really say I would pay £200 plus because something is graded but they do look good so never say never!
Niiiicee
Nice hair cut Andy. Those Demolition figures look really cool now.
Haha it was long over due. Yeah they do look very nice to be honest. Need to get some of the cases Dan has got to see if they also look as nice etc. Appreciate the watch 👍
Never waffle Andy . really good enjoyed watching , nice one on the 85 grades , I've not sent anything as yet the only one i may do is the Yokozuna Green card MOC i bought a few years ago .
Oh that would be a good item to grade! Cheers and yeah it was a surprise to get such high grades 👍👍
Congrats Andy!
Both figures look really mint and deserve their high grades.
Maybe grading action figures isn't such a bad idea after all, as long as you only grade the high end figures?!
Think that’s the idea. Have a high grade to prove it’s a nice item and charge more. I get not all collectors are the same but for me I don’t get why it makes them jump so much in value. But they do look great 😂
Wow, you must be pleased with 85 grades. That's usually pretty hard to get isn't it, so those cards must be mint. Look great in the boxes. For ages I've thought about grading some carded Visionaries, but they'll take more space to store :) I just wish that graded items weren't so heavily price increased - as a buyer I prefer to buy non-graded. In other words, I just can't make my mind up about grading LOL
Haha I’m the same. They are to expensive to bulky but I want more 😂
I would definitely do this again and would rather wait and find a good item to grade then buy one for triple the price etc. That’s just me I know people have the resources to spend big etc.
Cool video dude you could work in the movies keeping the consistency with the T all you needed to do was keep off the fresh trim, you should get the Hogan Graded
In honesty that was just luck 🤣 And he is on my list to get done mate. Cheers for the watch and shout 👍👍👍
After seeing our grades i'm still on the fence about grading. Apart from being in the case for protection, still doesn't make want to spend the money for someone to say what grade it is.
graded figures are cool i have around 10? but those demolition men toys def look good
Awesome man! I'm in exactly the same boat as you, never really understood the whole grading thing, but I have to admit I really want to get one item graded so that I have something in the collection... not convinced I have anything yet that I think is worthy of grading but at some point I'll find something.
I guess the value increases because not only is the item cased nicely but also it is 'graded' (no fear / concerns for the buyer)
Agreed I can see people wanting a high grade item for there collection. Do it dude it’s cool when you get them back and they do look good. But for sure a rabbit hole I am jumping down. Just a couple bits for now ……… 🤣
@@andystoysandmodels9582 I look forward to seeing what's next! 🤣👍
You probably know by now, but just in case.... 30p for the plastic sleeve and it's not UV protected.... You pay an extra £15 for them to use UV protected acrylic.
I'm stuck between picking VGA or UKG...
Awesome video as always dude, I have for a couple of pieces I want to send to UKG when they start taking stuff again. How did you send it to them. Did you send by Royal Mail etc??
👍👍 cheers for the watch mate. Yeah you do your order online tell them what you want graded. You then send to them yourself so you could choose any one. I sent with Royal Mail next day just to be sure they got there safe. Packed it bomb proof. Waited till they emailed me saying it’s ready and they told me the cost for postage back.
Enjoyed that mate and nice to hear you just did it for yourself, im with you never really got the point of some random telling me the quality of an item then charging me for it lol
value wise 20% increase?
Cheers. It’s an odd one as for sure people l/ collectors do pay up for graded items. I’m glad I don’t need graded stuff or I would be even more broke😂
Thought you said who needs packaging?
@@KirksCORNER-1983 haha yea these were an experiment. Sold them now but still think grading is a bit of a con.
So did you watch and wear the same shirt on purpose or was this an accident?? I’m a new sub found your channel through Ed’s retro geek out loving your vids bud.
Haha no it was on purpose. And thanks for watches. Ed’s videos are on another level haha
I will work a new video as it’s been a while since my last one. Appreciate the comments 👍👍
2 questions 1st are things expensive to get graded and can the plastic(bubble) still yellow if in case
Hey man it seems the price depends on what item you want graded. These guys and the aliens were about £35 each. As for the yellow I really don’t know. I think the sleeves I got are uv protection but if your going to display them why would you leave the sleeves on them??? I will ask some others and get back to you dude.
@@andystoysandmodels9582 cheers Andy I'm just thinking is it worth getting stuff graded if the bubble is still gonna yellow but saying that I've NEVER seen a yellow bubble in a graded case
Where did you get the boxes from ?.
I sent the figures off for grading.
