Several eBay buyers have asked about the "C?" condition of my items in my auctions.  When I started my collection in the early eighties and purchasing from sellers who had their own stores, Barbie Bazaar Magazines, going to Barbie shows, there was a grading system for the fashion items.  Barbie was at the pinnacle of her Collectability popularity.  At that time the grading system consisted of a letter "C" for condition followed by numbers from 1 - 10 with 10 being excellent.  Mint only referred to untouched, undamaged items within the original sealed packages or possibly the items removed from a box for photographing and still sewn to the cards.  I learned not to remove an item from the package if I wanted to rate it a Mint item. This is a judgement call by the seller at that specific place in time.
Condition is Pre-Owned and is in C9+ to C10 condition. Shipped with Priority Mail.
