Re: [SWCollect] Greetings
Good point about (S) (T). I agree it's redundant. (T) alone works. What about (C)? The original reason that we had (C) was for a game that was sealed, but had become compressed due to the air getting sucked out of the shrink. However, the current wording for MobyScale could also use (C) for any crushed box -- sealed or not. Should (C) be used in place of (S), or should it be used for any crushed box? Hmm, I must have missed this part of the discussion. The wording on Jim's page says C = crushed so that's how I've been using it. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] Greetings
I also think NM (S) is still valid. What if you have a defect on the shrink other than a tear (like writing)? I wouldn't call it MS. Ah, good point. NM (S) could indeed apply if there's a defect on the wrap, but not the game package. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] Greetings
Why was it designed to be flexible so individual collectors could tailor it to individual needs? I might be mistaken, but wasn't the scale designed to be universal? Being able to tailor anything universal creates confusion, no? Because different collectors have slightly different needs. The ratings all mean the same thing (i.e. they are universal) but how people employ them can very slightly, as we've seen in this discussion. Really? would it be that hard? What type of datafield(s) are you using for the mobyscale condition? Enum for the conditions, set for the modifiers. It's not that it'd be that hard, it's just that it'd take a lot of time to recode, TEST, etc., time I don't have at the moment. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

I guess I misinterpreted the reasoning behind inventing the Mobyscale. My understanding was that it was created to fill all needs for classifying games so there would be no need for people to adjust the scale individually. - Original Message - From: C.E.

Re: [SWCollect] Greetings
Well, I'm all for having a standard usage for the scale, which would be how 90% of everyone should use it. Of course people can deviate, but that is their choice, and hopefully they would call attention to it and reasons why on their site. I think I could conform my collection to any scale, and just put specifics in the notes. Jim, you haven't weighed in on any of these discussions yet. Are you around? Since, Jim is the keeper of the scale, we won't get very far without his input.
