Most grading
systems are designed for professional collectors, who need to
know every detail of an item's condition.
For the rest of us we basically want to know:
is it a)
good enough to show off,b)
good enough to
collect or
c)
good enough for
opening.

We have created
this simplified system so you know at a glance if one of our
items will suit your needs.
