Graded Muggs?

[Muggzilla]

Thought about this after I made a post in the action figure forum. Has anoyone had a Mugg grade? Has anyone seen one?

I've seen graded ones only at SDCC. Very expensive! I wish I could find cool plastic casings like they had for those, so i can use 'em for my muggs. :/

Any idea what company? Most do sell their cases alone, but they are very overpriced.

Excuse my ignorance but what does Graded mean??

Some companies assign a numerical value to the condition of a figure. This way, the condition is no longer an arbitrary opinion of a collector / seller.

The Action Figure Authority (AFA) was the first company to offer a toy-grading service in which the graded toy is placed in a sealed acrylic display box. The sealed acrylic box of AFA-graded toys is intended to keep the toy safe from future wear and tear. The label on side or back of an AFA-graded toy acrylic case contains identifying information for the toy (such as the figure's name, the toyline, etc.), the overall grade given to it by AFA, and where applicable, the three subgrades (box/card, window/bubble, and figure).
