They will offer to plexi-case it for you, but not give it a rating. When you do get it back, it'll have a reason. I've seen an MISB Megatron get turned down due to "questionable" tape.

How would they handle the TFC Megatron since the box isn't taped at all?

I can't remember, but isn't the inner plastic piece taped?

Yep, it's just the outer box that isn't taped. All of the other TFC's that I have are taped up.

Suba had a box of BBQ pork buns ... we actually looked at the tape, and noticed it was identical to TF tape. h:
