I respectfully disagree. ;)

"Sealed" is a flag, much like IM, MMC and so on. And surely you don't write
FMMC for a Fine copy with MMC? Or perhaps NMSTC? That'd make it a lot more
cryptic than necessary, imho.

Sorry to be anal, but that's one of my specialties :-) --

Mint sealed is "MS" not M(S).

Aaargh... yes, that always makes me whince.

There was an eBay auction way back in 2001 for a shrinked Kilrathi Saga,
M(S). Apparently the seller was contacted by a guy urging him to check if
the wrap was authentic and the game truly unopened. Not knowing what to look
for, this poor chap cracked the wrap and happily added a note to his listing
that, yes, everything inside was in mint condition.

from the auction:
" Note: Brand new with all the original manuals/disks/box, etc. Only came
out of the shrink wrap to be photographed. According to the box it works on
any Apple II or III. "

Doh!  Not the sharpest tool in the shed...
