Would MS indicate not only the box and contents, but also the wrap is in flawless condition?
For me M(S) means the box is perfect and shrinked, while it does leave some variability for the condition of the wrap, which even if free of tears may be in lesser shape at times (store stickers, grime that has settled into the wrap, age discoloration, etc.).

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.

According to the box it works on any Apple II or III. " Doh! Not the sharpest tool in the shed...
