It's decided then: Sealed will be an additional modifier to a grade, and not a grade itself. I'll make this (fairly significant) change to the scale tonight and send it out. -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive historical PC gaming database project. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: Vote (Was: Re: [SWCollect] MobyScale, version 0.2)
Yea -- a sealed item can be both mint or utterly destroyed. "Mint sealed" adds a level of refinement to the grade. Chris Jim Leonard wrote: > "C.E.

RE: Vote (Was: Re: [SWCollect] MobyScale, version 0.2)
Yay. Mint Sealed should be as close to perfect as possible. Anything less (crushing, etc.) should be dropped to a lower level...even if sealed (i.e. Fine Sealed). Sealed can be added to any grade: VG Sealed, G Sealed, etc. Since Sealed is really just additional information and not a grade on its own. Another note is that Mint should never be used on its own (without Sealed) since a game by definition is not Mint unless it is still sealed. The best grade for an opened package should be NM.
