Check Gaming Collectible Condition Before Displaying or Buying

Use a quick, repeatable checklist for paint, packaging, accessories, stands, loose parts, and display stability.

A condition check does not need to be complicated. Look at the surfaces that show wear first: paint edges, clear plastic, printed packaging, joints, stands, and small accessories that can be easy to lose.

Photograph anything notable before cleaning, displaying, or moving it. A quick image and note are useful if you later need to compare condition, track a repair, or remember what was included.

Test the display stand and shelf position before leaving the piece in place. Stability protects the object and makes the collection easier to live with every day.
