Lol I don't know what it is about destroying obsolete/useless computer
components and software, but it's almost like a tradition where I come
from.. why simply throw something out, when you can throw it out - the
window? :)

Not collect but - we used to throw them against the panel walls in my

Hey all,
Just and update on CGC; I've pretty much completed the collection importer,
but I've decided to hold off on making it public. The masterlist simply is
not expansive enough for it to be effective. So, I'm just concentrating on
building the masterlist, and when I feel it's large enough t

Yea I understand. I guess I misinterpreted the reasoning behind inventing
the Mobyscale
It would seem to me that while the mobyscale grades and modifiers were
normalized, the usage of them was not. I do have a couple of questions
though.

Here's a question:
I figured I'd take a look around the web for a type of clear plastic case
(kind of like an oversized VHS case or something like that) that would fit
most computer games, and buy a bunch bulk, and start putting all of my
collection in them. It seemed like a good idea. However,

Where the conditions are listed, it clearly states that NM is "no defects,
no wrap", but you mentioned that NM can have the modifier of (S)? I
certainly understand the need for NM (S), but perhaps you should modify that
page a bit to clear things up?

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask:
There is something about the mobyscale I noticed a while back, and I figured
since I'm in touch with the people who made it, I should ask now. The
grades MS and NM are confusing. By definition, MS stands for no defects in
original factory shrinkwrap.

With CGC, I don't plan on representing an "exact" value, which is why I use
the range approach. (I.E. $20 - $40)

Hey guys, can anyone supply me with a comma delimited file of thier
collection, or part of it, so I can test the CGC importer out a bit more b4
making it public?
Thanks for any help!
