As the Koll Catalogs are written entirely in German, I have been unable to ascertain what grade/condition the price in Euros represents. Would one you Deutschlanders please explain this pricing system to me?
Thank you,
Chas

My understanding of the grading system is that the highest price/grade represents an item in absolutely mint condition, completely original, all original items included. Ie 'Mint"

The next grade is for an item that much the same as above but which has had minimal use, ie test-use only, but still 99% original. It 'could' be missing something like the factory inspection tag, or maybe very light signs of handling to the box. ie "Excellent or near-mint"

Their lowest grade is still for an item in very good condition, again with original box, minimal handling wear, but could be an item which has seem some careful use and handling.. ie "Very Good to Excellent)"

Koll's does not take account of unbox items or item showing significant wear/playworn.

That level of pricing comes down to personal determination and so-called LHP "Love of Hearts Pricing"

Greenbergs book had an attempt at an English Pricing guide in the 90's but it was believed to be somewhat biased by the items held by the contributing authors.

Hope this helps, and I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable members will add to this.

Regards

Steve
