I'm confused on the complete in box option, can somebody help me understand. If, for example, I wanted my Final Fantasy Adventure with the Box, Manual and Game graded, but I'm missing say the Map or if I'm missing the Nintendo Power or a Registration Card, does this factor into the grading, or is it just a mention on the label that this has only the Box, Manual and Cart and is missing the Map or the Reg. Card, if the game has one.
Hey. Good question. The easiest way to look at is what makes up a CIB (Cart, Instructions, Box), that is what gets graded. The weighting for each is as follows: Box = 50%, Cart = 30%, Instructions = 20%. The weighted average then gives you your overall grade with the subgrades noted on the back.
Inserts like like the Tips and Strategies for LoZ are noted, and any additional notes (sealed vs. opened) are on the back as well with a separate grade that does not get factored into the overall grade.
I hope that helps.
