No downgrading of a game when only the factory wrap exhibits signs of age, whereas the box is perfect. > I guess in retrospect, having "Mint Sealed" can confuse some people, but > it was *more* confusing to have someone sell you something described as > "mint" and then getting an open box. Aye. MS is quite a bit like NRFB, it's our way of describing that the item is still in factory condition. > -- surely you don't have that many... True. These are rare cases. When the wrap is worn the box will most likely have taken a hit as well, so there's no point in describing the shape of the wrap separately. As said before, this may become more important in the future for collectors who are fanatic about condition. >> Yes, silly mistake there. Try that again: MS (wrap: G).

If you agree, I can add it to the FAQ > section of the MobyScale -- let me know. That would be nice! It would really help for the few cases in which one may want to also describe the condition of the wrap in the abbreviated form. > I can picture it now: "Dufus!
