Good point about (S) (T). I agree it's redundant. (T) alone works. What
about (C)? The original reason that we had (C) was for a game that was
sealed, but had become compressed due to the air getting sucked out of
the
shrink. However, the current wording for MobyScale could also use (C)
I also think NM (S) is still valid. What if you have a defect on the
shrink
other than a tear (like writing)? I wouldn't call it MS.
Ah, good point. NM (S) could indeed apply if there's a defect on the
wrap, but not the game package.
Why was it designed to be flexible so individual collectors could tailor
it
to individual needs? I might be mistaken, but wasn't the scale designed
to
be universal? Being able to tailor anything universal creates confusion,
no?
Because different collectors have slightly different needs.
Because different collectors have slightly different needs. The ratings
all
mean the same thing (i.e. they are universal) but how people employ them
can
very slightly, as we've seen in this discussion.
Yea I understand. I guess I misinterpreted the reasoning behind inventing
the Mobyscale.
Well, I'm all for having a standard usage for the scale, which would be how
90% of everyone should use it. Of course people can deviate, but that is
their choice, and hopefully they would call attention to it and reasons why on
their site. I think I could conform my collection to any scale, and
