Ok, Call Me Picky, But Something That Really Bothers Me About Some Of Ebays Sellers Is Their Very Loose Use Of The Word Mint In The Item Descriptions. You Will See Listings For Die Cast Cars With Photos Showing The Car Out Of The Box & Hoods, Trunks & Doors Opened! I Am Sorry To Say That This Is NOT "MINT" Condition! A "MINT" Item Is Only One That Has "NEVER" Been Removed From It's Original Packaging Even Just For Photos. Once The Package Is Opened, Or Seal Is Broken The Condition Drops To New/Near Mint Status! If The Item Is Handled, This Drops The Condition Rating To "AS NEW IN BOX"! This Is Only My Opinion, However If You Consult An Antiques Or Collectibles Expert, They Will Tell You Almost The Very Same Thing! So Please Ebay Sellers Give Some Thought To It Before You Slip That 4 Letter Word Into Your Description!
