  • Very Good – Minimal wear on disc or cartridge. Case and artwork (if included) are clean and intact.
  • Good (Most Common) – Light cosmetic wear from normal use. Case or artwork may show minor wear or stickers. Fully functional.
  • Acceptable – Noticeable cosmetic wear. Case or artwork may be heavily worn or missing. Fully tested and playable.

Packaging Types
