Well yeah, I am aware you could do that, but it could be confusing to those who don't know. I'm just thinking it could be streamlined to some degree. Why assume or not assume any sealed quality on any of six grades if there is a modifier to handle the condition?
I would propose a 2 changes to the scale: MINT SEALED changed to MINT with the possibility of the "S" modifier. NEAR MINT very light shelf wear, no specific defects, just not BRAND SPANKING, also with the possibility of the "S" modifier.
