The selected score for each category will be highlighted in yellow. In cases where a model scores in multiple sections, the lower point value will be selected. This method allows us to fully describe the overall condition of a model, including how it looks, how it runs, and how it has been stored up to now.

The grade is broken down into 3 categories:

(1) Appearance (0 - 50 possible points): The model is scored based on cosmetic condition: paint quality, any chips, dents, loose parts, etc.

(2) Mechanical / Electrical (0 - 40 possible points): The model is graded based on how well it runs: smoothness, lights, DCC functions, etc.

(3) Box & Foam (0 - 10 possible points): The box and foam that accompany the model are graded based on condition.

The highest possible score is 100, which would show as a '10.0' grade. Using '10' as a 'perfect' score allows us to truly show the condition of any given model. The closer a model scores to '10.0,' the better overall condition it's in. The lower the score, the lower the overall quality of the model.
