Six grades. Plain English. Every piece on Bubs960 is rated the same way, and every flaw gets photographed. Here's what each grade means.
From "never touched" to "definitely touched" — and everything in between.
No creases, no soft corners, no tape lift. Bubble clear and attached. Factory seals intact. Any minor card wear or warehouse dings are called out explicitly in the description and shown in photos.
Figure is loose but pristine. All accessories present and unworn. Joints tight, paint perfect, no scuffs or rubs. Displayed only — never played with.
Figure looks great from arm's length. Maybe a faint paint rub or a joint with a hair of slack — noted explicitly. All accessories present. Still gallery-shelf worthy.
Light paint rubs, a soft joint or two, maybe minor accessory wear. All major accessories present (missing ones listed). Display-worthy from 2+ feet; shows loved-and-handled up close.
Noticeable wear: paint wear on high-contact zones, loose joints, or missing one or more accessories (always listed by name). Honest shelf condition, fair pricing.
Heavy paint wear, loose/missing accessories, possible joint repairs, bite marks (it happens). Perfect for parts, customs, budget builders, or nostalgic shelves. Every issue listed and shown.
When a piece is slabbed (AFA, CAS, WATA, UKG), the grade on the slab rules — we list the slab grade in the title and include the case number. Unslabbed pieces use the Bubs960 scale above.
If a grade ever feels off when it arrives, message within 48 hours. We'll make it right, every time.
Every listing uses this scale. Browse the shop and see grades called out on each piece.
