In order to
assist everyone who buys and sells Subbuteo, Subbuteo365, in conjunction
with Subbuteo World, has originated
a set of standards for the condition of second-hand sets, teams and
accessories. Any reputable seller should use similar gradings to state
what amount of wear and tear the box, packaging and its contents have
been subject to.
The 7 standard
condition categories are listed below.

no wear and tear whatsoever. The item would be just as if it had
just come off the production line. |

little sign of wear. The box/packaging may show very slight
signs of wear/creasing. |
