This thread is a warning about lack of grading, or blatant slighted grading, however subjective.
If you are told to see picture for condition, hit the back button.
"Mint/mint-" (mainly seen on Jabo listings), expect there to be an issue not described. If there is plenty of room in the title, yet the description is mint-, especially with additional - symbols, it is pretty evident they are trying to fool you into thinking 'mint', while at the same time having an excuse "...I used the minus symbol". There is also an effort to convince people that all Jabo marbles have imperfections, so these can fall into the mint category. B.S.
If they cannot even type out the word 'minus' in the description, they are apparently hoping their deception is pulled off.
"Wet mint minus". This is the most redundant statement I've ever heard in terms of marble grading. Wet mint means it is so perfect, the glass looks wet. A wet surface is perfect. To add the 'minus' to it, means it isn't wet in the first place.
