Summary of item condition grading:
VG + means there is light wear on places like the belt and other places where the figure has possible paint that can be worn. This is basically the class for figures that are not VF+ which is very nice and show little to no wear at all. Most of our average figures we sell at the store because once you get below lightly worn, the condition can become objective to the individual.

Abbreviations Used in Website

  NM near mint, C-9++ or better (note:  nothing can really ever be considered "MINT", very rarely can someone NOT find something wrong with any tangible item)
  VF+ very fine, C-9+ (very  nice condition, not NM because of a very slight flaw making it not perfect, not museum quality but darn near close to it)
  VF very fine, C-9 (very minor wear, nice condition.  Just a basic all around nice item like you would find on regular store shelves but not crisp out of the package or original shipping carton.)  note:  "-" indicates a little more wear but not enough to be classified a complete grade less. 
  VG+ very good, C-8 (slight wear but not much, maybe some light wear at the edge of figure boots, hat brim, eyebrows, package edges, mostly a little black or dark paint/color wear but still good and displayable condition.  Item basically looks good unless you pick it up and examine it closely, most wear not noticeable unless up close)
  VG very good, C-7 (shows play wear but not worn paint to the point where it could be considered a worn item.  Item is in basic "played with" condition but not to the point where a general collector would consider it not displayable.  Definitely not museum quality, but worth displaying in a collection.) note:  "-" indicates a little more wear but not enough to be classified a complete grade less. 
  G good, C-6 (shows wear but not completely "ugh" rough)
  FR fair, C-5, definitely an "UGH" rough item
