CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS
----------------------
I will provide more detail on the condition of a specific game on request.

MINT:        A game in like-new condition, UNPUNCHED and never 
             played.  The game's box may show very light wear from 
             storage only.  No rips, tears, or stains of any kind 
             on any component.  The game's original packaging must 
             be complete and intact, this includes the original 
             coversheet for flatbox games.

NEAR-MINT:   Only one type of game fits this description, a game
             that would be in MINT condition, except that the game 
             was prepared for play, and less than 50% of the         
             counters are punched.  (Perhaps one small intro         
             scenario was played, for example.)

EXCELLENT:   A game that would be MINT, except that it has been
             played a one or two times.  Some minor wear is 
             allowed, but no major rips, tears, or stains on any   
             of the components.  No edits, writing, or coloring 
             anywhere on the rules or map.  Must be complete and 
             the original packaging must be in excellent condition. 
             Games that have been extremely well cared for, even 
             though they may have been played a few times.

VERY GOOD:   The next step down from excellent, games in this
             category have been played a few times, but were still 
             taken care of.  Minor rips, tears, or stains are 
             allowed.  The game shows signs of wear, but nothing 
             that adversely affects gameplay (i.e. the edges of the 
             may be worn, but definitely no damage to the map area 
             itself.)  Counters and the gamebox may also show signs 
             of wear.  Minor dents on the gamebox or minor cracks 
             on flatbox are allowed.  Games in this condition are 
             "gamer's" copies that have obviously been played a few 
             times.

GOOD:        Valuable only for gaming purposes, little or no
             collector value.   Rips, tears, or stains allowed and 
             the game's packaging may be well worn.  Some counters 
             or other components may be missing, but the game still 
             contains everything needed to play the game (i.e. a 
             couple substitute counters, a xeroxed copy of the 
             rules, etc.)  A game you wouldn't mind tossing in the 
             back of your car.
