ABOUT GRADING

We grade CONSERVATIVELY so there are no surprises! Box Condition is based on a "C-SCALE GRADING SYSTEM". The "C-Grading System" is a system used by most dealers, retailers and appraisers to rate the condition of your Dolls and other Collectible items. We are NOT certified AFA graders. If our grade is C8+ or above we are indicating “AFA READY”. If we grade the item as C10, it is likely to get an AFA grade of 90. Designations are C-1 through C-10. C-1 is the poorest possible condition. C-10 is factory mint and NRFB (never removed from box).

**FYI: AVERAGE STORE-BOUGHT GRADE is C8- to C8+**
