We were working under the premise that no opened game truly "mint." Mint is too often used and abused by sellers, and different people have different levels of detail when determining mint status. Therefore, if it has ever been opened, NM is the best it gets. NM (S) is also possible if there is one extremely minor defect, but the box is still sealed. NM (S)(T) is also common for a game that simply has a tear in the shrinkwrap but is otherwise new looking.

The grades MS and NM are confusing. By definition, MS stands for no defects in original factory shrinkwrap. NM stands for no defects, not sealed. My question is, why aren't the 2 grades simple "M" with the option of an S modifier (or M and NM, though not nec.)? The fact that those first 2 grades insinuate shrink or no shrink is redundent as far as the modifiers go, no? It's just something that has confused me about the mobyscale from the start.
