C-scale rating
What is the "C" Scale?
The "C" Scale is a grading system used to grade new and used figures on a descending scale of C9.5 to C1.
Below is the "C" scale.
* C10 - Figure is in perfect condition, without any flaws or defects. The extremely high price is to be expected. 'Nuff said.
* C9.9 - Figure is in almost perfect condition, without any visible flaws or defects. The price will include a very high premium due to its rarity.
* C9.5 - Figure is in mint condition, without any visible flaws or defects. Expect a high price because it's very rare to find a figure like this.
* C9.0 - Figure is in near mint condition with very few minor flaws (barely noticeable unless you search hard).
* C8.5 - Figure has some very minor areas of wear and may have small flaws.
* C8.0 - Figure has minor paint/sticker wear, may have minor stains, discoloration, and stress marks but no damage.
