When grading figures I try and be as precise and as accurate as possible. When
looking at one of my items please look at the picture, if you still have any questions
feel free to contact me. In the case of most Complete Figures, Vehicles, Sealed Items,
etc I have provided a picture of the actual item you are buying, typically on loose and
generic items it is a similar item but not the actual item. Read the description carefully
and if you still have questions please contact me.
Here is a general guideline on how I grade figures from all lines.
C9.5 - Almost Flawless, one or two tiny spots of wear.
C9 - A few spots of wear or a small defect - like Joe Elbow Stress, TF Sticker Wear, etc. Can have some light looseness.
C8.5 - Some small spots of wear or one bigger spot of wear. Mid level defect - cracked elbow,etc. Can have some looseness.
C8 - Some overall paint or sticker wear, some looseness. Possibly a larger defect on a otherwise perfect figure.
Anything Below C8 will have noticable wear, loose joints, sticker wear, possibly dirty, faded or broken parts. Any figure below C8 should explain what the problem is. Please ask if you are unsure.
Terminology - These are the various terms I use and what they mean.
MISB - Mint in Sealed Box. Item in original package with factory tape. Never opened.
MIB - Min in Box. Item includes original box, may be unassembled or fully assembled.
MOSC - Mint on Sealed Card. Item sealed on original blister card.
MOC - Mint on Card. Item sealed on original blister card but may have some bubble lift and not totally sealed.
FC - File Card. For G.I.Joe Action figures, means included with File Card.
Comics Books are graded using the Overstreet Grading guide. Even with this
guide Comic grading can vary quite a bit so ask any questions before buying.
