I would say that yes; the book is ED.  However, if you're using the
abbreviated form and grading the entire contents of the game with one grade,
I would not list the entire contents as ED.  If everything else was F (for
example), it might bring down the contents to VG or G (it's subjective, of
course).

I only grade contents as a whole, so I don't get into grading disks
separately from sleeves, but I would certainly mention the sleeves as
missing in the notes and would use MMC for the box contents.  Since you're
already going a step further and detailing out specific contents, I'd say
it's up to you to decide what to apply the scale to.  As long as it isn't
misleading, do what you want.

Jim and anyone else that wants to chime in,

Please make sure I'm using the MobyScale right.  I have a copy of
Ultima IV where the Book of Magic has been written in.  Spell
components were underlined (in pen) and many pages have a series of
letters written at the top (e.g. "A, D, E").  The last three pages,
which should be blank, have been written in a great deal.  Does this
make this book ED?

Another question:  should disks and sleeves be graded together or
separately.  This same package has the original disks with wear, but
they're not in the original sleeves.  Should I list them as "Disks:
G/MMC"?  (I'd probably put a note after that explaining the rating.)

Also, is there not an official page for the MobyScale at
MobyGames.com?  I can't find one and Google returns the ones at YOIS
and GOTCHA.
