amiibo Condition Grading: A Simple System for Collectors
Most collector conflict happens because people use different meanings for ‘mint’. A simple grading system protects your money and your shelf.
Sealed Grading (Practical)
- Display Grade: clean card, clear bubble, minimal edge wear.
- Shelf Grade: minor wear, still looks good on display.
- Damaged: tears, dents, crushed corners, yellowing, heavy scuffs.
Loose Grading
- Clean: paint and plastic intact, no visible damage.
- Used: small marks, minor scuffs, still presentable.
- Rough: obvious wear, paint damage, missing parts.
Condition grading is culture. It keeps collecting honest.

Kazuya - number 91
The Kazuya amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series extends the function of the character beyond the screen. It is not a decorative extra in isolation.
