I was looking up toys to buy, and I found an OP who is already out of his box, but still in mint condition.

What does it mean when they say:

"Box is about C9+ with minor shelf wear."

Well, by virtue of having been opened I don't believe the box can be C9 anymore.

Basicaly, he is saying the box is in pristine shape. (If ebay, take that with mulitple grains of salt.)

ah, yea. It was from ebay. x3

Where is the rating level guide for something like that?

Is there a C8 and a C1? hehe

Yes, there would be C1-8 as well. But grading is very arbitrary. I don't know of any exact guides to grading. You can check out BBTS. If I recall they give some quantatative reasoing behind how they grade.

However, dealing with ebay, everything is apparantly C 9/5+++++++++. Don't put any stock in it.
