The "Transformer Trader and Collector's Guild Rating System" or TTCGRS is for the use of everyone.  I noticed that there was no consistant system that had descriptions so I created one.  In order for everyone to understand these ratings, if you use the system yourself, mark it as the TTCG Rating System and link to this page so that the descriptions are available for other people to see.  It is my hope that this system, or another like it will be used widely enough that everyone will be able to grade their own Transformers and people viewing will know exactly what they are looking at.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this system or the TTCG email me @ [email protected] and I will respond within 24 hours.

"Poor" items have either a major piece missing or the condition is below collecting value. If it is just the case of a missing piece, a second rating will follow to give the condition of the item.

"Incomplete" items have some or no accessories.

"Complete" items include all accessories that were originally packaged with toy (not including paperwork), all accessories have the same or better rating than the rating given the toy.

"Box" includes only the box, does not include inserts

"MIB" items have a box with a rating of B-30 or better that include a toy of C-45 or better does not include paperwork.

"MISB" items have never been opened, factory tape is still intact on both ends.
Choose the Grade of the item, and the description of the condition will appear in the box.
