I haven't see any graded either, I know from talking to other collectors, cost reflects upon a few factors, the rarity and desireablity of the item in question, and how many items you happen to get graded at once. Some companies charge a set rate regardless how many figures you get graded, some lower it the more you do. Also if the figure/card/comic is worth a lot then your grading is going to cost more, because after the grading you have a figure worth 2-10x the going rate it was just at. Ie someone wants a MU colored Vision figure graded, might cost them $50, but turns that figure's resale value into $300, where as you get Gladiator graded and might cost you $25, and make it worth $40.

no, grading figures by the AFA is the same as grading comics like CGC. The come in a protective case with all of the info and individual serial numbers.
Here's a Snake Eyes I have

Just wondering though who actually buys graded stuff, and has anyone sold or bought a graded item? I know I mostly likely wouldn't buy anything graded...granted I know having them graded increases the value of them...
