I have the understanding that the AFA is a complete and utter joke. Their grading standards are arbitrary.

"Ok, we have a v1 Snake Eyes ARAH MOC... Oh, there's a 'slight' crease in the corner of the card. I give him a 9.7. Oh, here's another one to grade. Hmmmmmmm... v1 ARAH Mainframe MOC. Let's see, in the cartoon he tried to date a Dreadnok and that's bad and that's a bad concept for kids plus he's a Marine and everyone knows that Marines are Morons. The card is perfect as is he, I give him a 3."

I saw that Hasbro was doing this and what gets ME is that people are buying 'em so they end up out of stock! WTF??? The only people who'd buy those are other companies. I can think of 1 in particular, actually.
