Most brand-new games aren't a 10/10, either. That's why in other grading schemes like comics and cards, 9.8+ is considered mint. Unless you pulled that sucker right off the factory line, there's almost always going to be some kind of wear on it. That said, my idea of near mint is like most people's here: 8.5-9.5 is Near Mint. On NES boxes, I look for things like whitening at the corners and edges, scuffing on the box faces, and any kinds of dent/wrinkle/bend/tear.

To me, "near mint" is near mint, not quite mint.

I would say 9 IMO, but im not very up on condition. I did just by some boxes from someone who said they are 9.8/10 and 9.9/10 so we shall see if my 9.8 & 9.9 are the same as someone else

I would call that a 9. It looks like a small dent in the bottom right of the front, could be flash glare, and the already mentioned scuffing. Nice box, damage.

Yeah looks pretty minty, reguardless of the exact numerical value on the condition scale. Nice copy!
