My take: - The circular hole is generally intentional and is not a defect in any way. It would be classified as MS. In fact, that hole is a good indicator of original shrinkwrap.
- I add descriptive notes to the title. For example "Winger Commander (OEM)" vs "Wing Commander." - Same for autographs: "Prince of Persia 3D (Signed)" Actually I also do that for package variations: "Starcross (Saucer)", "Deadline (Folio)" Personally I think the title is the place for all of this information because it is what differentiate is from a different SKU. Hugh -----Original Message----- From: MASTER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pedro Quaresma Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] Mobyscale I apologize to bring this up here, as this was probably discussed about 2873468234 times before, but I have decided to move on with the times and classify my entire collection with the Mobyscale. 3 issues arose: - I know the (T) modifier is used for [MS] games that have small tears on the shrinkwrap. But what happens if a [MS] has a small circular "hole" on the shrinkwrap, most probably due not to shrinkwrap damage but to any mistake in the shrinkwrap process? Does it become [MS(T)] or should it stay as [MS]? - How should the package of an OEM game be classified? [IM/...] doesn't sound right, and simply omitting it doesn't sound right either because we should be able to differentiate OEM games that are still shrinkwrapped (And I don't think simply [MS] for the shrinkwrapped ones would cut it either). - Anyone ever considered an "Autographed by Author" modifier? It's not an indication of value and although it's "writing on box/manual/whatever", it's obviously not ED! Note: As you noticed, I'm using above the YOIS abbreviated format of the Mobyscale. Hope you don't mind, Chris :) Regards, P. Pedro R.
