They can make custom acrylic cases to put your packaged figures in after they are done grading. I'm going to be sending off one of my Glorious Golden Benders first to see how it goes, then I'm going to do my Moore figures because they are more rare. Then I'll do all of my Zoidbergs. This would only be worth it for figures you plan on never taking out of packages, or loose figures that really rare, such as Robot Devil, or Star Wars if you're into those. They even give you a custom serial number that they log into their website for people to check the authenticity of your figure. Such as this figure I have Note: Figures receiving a perfect ten is very, very rare.

I'm not sure if I understand this, I thought sealed in the box was mint condition ...

Say you have a figure that's a 100, wouldn't it get damaged in the mail? I imagine it's next to impossible to get a 100 for your figure. Unless you send it in earthquake/bullet/fire/lava/water/lightning-proof packaging.

so you're saying just because yours has been graded it'll be worth more than the one i have which is unopened and not graded?
and i'd have to throw out a stack to get all my figures done? hmm, may be worth it when i get my tax money.
It'll absolutely be worth ALOT more money because it's graded and encased in a UV protected acrylic case. It not only proves the figure is authentic, it'll protect it from getting dented, scratched, etc over the course of the years that I have it. It's already upped the value by at least $100 now. Imagine what it'll be worth in 20 years when this figure will be even more scarce. For example, if you were to go on EBAY and look for an authentic Star Wars figure, lets say of Chewbacca. If you find one that's unopened, but in not graded/encased such as this. It's not worth nearly as much as this one. Mind you, this is only worth it if you don't plan on opening your figures and are a "serious" collector and want your figures to grow in value over the years. If you wanted to do ALL your Futurama figures it'll probably set you back about $1000-$1500 to do the entire lot. I'm going to do all of them eventually, but I'm going to start out on all the "rare" ones first. Then do the other ones at a later date. If you do a few at a time it won't be that bad.

I thought of a flaw in all this, you could leave your graded 90 Bender on the sunny windowsill for 20 years and not open it, but the packaging would be all faded and a potential buyers trust in that score would be broken...

you don't have an original MAC leela?
but you do have the nibbler, awesome. i've always wanted one of those. but that's probably why it's almost 600 right? cuz i just have the carded figures.
Most are around $250 I think. Yea I have an original MAC Leela, but the bubble on it has alot of yellowing. I"m trying to find one that doesn't have that problem. I just don't have a carded Swimsuit Leela. Those are very hard to find. I do have the boxed Swimsuit Leela though. I got the entire lot (Fry, Bender, 8 inch Nibbler, Planet Express Ship, and Swimsuit Leela) for $295.

Sorry to kind of hijack this but out of interest, how much could I sell my carded Swimsuit Leela for? Is eBay the best place? Also I have the other MAC (except Nibbler) all carded, how much would it increase the value to have them professionally graded, say for example they came back with a grade of 70?
Many thanks for any feedback!
