Our Aim

ATi was formed in order to offer collectors and dealers a professional collectable toy grading company which is the alternative to third party grading companies. Our aim is to maintain our standardised grading system one by which the whole action toy industry can easily refer to and understand.

Buyers Rest Assured

In the world of rare, hard to find vintage toy collectables, there will always be misleading grades, misrepresentation, disreputable dealers and unfortunately, counterfeits. An ATi graded collectable however, is a unique product that provides the collector with a professional assessment of the item’s condition, authenticity and characteristics, although rarity is not one of ATi’s grading criteria.

The ATi evaluation process also rearguards against counterfeiting by authenticating the article in question. The graders at ATi are seasoned professionals who can definately spot the difference between counterfeit and genuine factory manufactured action toy collectables.

Why Use ATi?

The advantages of buying a professionally graded collectable are as follows:- Their value will hold to optimise your investment and it can enable you to sell your collectable at later date for a much higher price due to its great condition and scarcity. Buyers and sellers always see an increase in resale value once an item has been graded. The power of ATi grading increases the market demand for such rare graded items. Buyers and sellers both trust ATi graded items for many reasons, one in particular, is that they both know what to expect and are far more likely to come back for ATi graded items as opposed to ungraded items.

Quality

At ATi, we use our collective years of experience and industry knowledge to the maximum. Grading first takes place with the collectables being delicately handled at our assessment facility. Thoroughly analised, they are scrutinised for flaws and verified for authentication before being factory sealed in our ultra high quality tamperproof durable polished pure acrylic display cases. After this process has taken place the item can then no longer be held by human hands. It will also remain in the exact same condition, ensuring that your investment never deteriorates.

High scoring modern and vintage collectables are completely free of dust, dirt, and remnants. They have no damage, dents or cracks to the inner tray nor the outer bubble. This also applies to celophane windows on boxes. They will also have hardly any creases or light stress marks visible on the front and back of cardbacks or sides of a box, sometimes referred to as “spider lines”.

Continuity and precision

This is our main objective with every grade we allocate. To remain at the pinnacle of our field throughout the toy collecting community and industry. To give peace of mind by providing a skilled assessment of an items condition, characteristics and authenticity. To stick to our policies and procedures that enables the ATi grading standard to be upheld at all times.
