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) for any crushed box -- sealed or not. Should (C) be used in place of (S), or should it be used for any crushed box?
I think it should be used in place of (S). A crushed (not not sealed) box could simply be downgraded (for example -- ED). Hugh On Mon, 7 Oct 2002 17:30:07 -0500 "C.E.
