What is the "C" Scale?

The "C" Scale is a grading system used to grade new and used figures on a descending scale of C9.5 to C1.

Below is the "C" scale we use to grade our inventory.

  • C9.5 - Figure is in mint condition, without any visible flaws or defects. Expect a high price because it's very rare to find a figure like this.
  • C9.0 - Figure is in near mint condition with very few minor flaws (barely noticeable unless you search hard).
  • C8.5 - Figure has some very minor areas of wear and may have small flaws.
  • C8.0 - Figure has minor paint/sticker wear, may have minor stains, discoloration, and stress marks but no damage.
  • C7.5 - Figure has some play, paint/sticker wear and may have some stains, discoloration and stress marks.
  • C7.0 - Figure has play wear, moderate paint/sticker wear and may have moderate stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure is still collection worthy up to this point.
  • C6.5 - Figure has more play and paint/sticker wear, and may have stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have a broken part.
  • C6.0 - Figure has heavy play wear, paint/sticker wear and may have heavy stains, discoloration, and stress marks. Figure may have one or more broken/repaired parts.
  • C5.5 - Figure has heavy wear damage, repairs and stains/discoloration.
  • C5.0 - Figure has many flaws, wear, tears, stains/discoloration and may be broken.
  • C4.5 - Figure has major flaws, and play wear (tears, stains/discoloration) and may be broken.
  • C4.0 - Figure shows severe play wear, damage and may be used for parts.
  • C3.5 - Figure has many usable parts and major damage.
  • C3.0 - Figure that has some usable parts and major damage.
  • C2.5 - Figure that has few usable parts and major damage.
  • C2.0 - Figure has very few useable parts and severe damage.
  • C1.5 - Figure is in very poor condition.
  • C1.0 - Figure cannot be salvaged for parts. We throw these out.
