THE KEEPER'S CONDITION REFERENCE

The condition of the collectible itself and the condition of its outer packaging are different. Manufacturers do not seal every new-in-box product in the same way; each listing describes the specific item.

Important: Pristine Possibilities is a possible outcome, not an extra condition grade. Significant known damage cannot be hidden under the Standard Retail Grade description.

STOCK vs. EXACT PHOTOS

No designation? Unless otherwise stated, treat photos as STOCK. Any known significant flaw or different edition must be disclosed individually.

TIMEWORN RELICS — AGE-RELATED CONDITIONS

New, unopened toys can show their age. Original paperboard, window plastic, adhesives and factory fasteners change naturally during long-term storage. An accurate release year matters more than a universal definition of “vintage.”

• Cardboard: yellowing or toning, spotting or foxing, fading, warping, old sticker residue or paper loss after price-tag removal.
• Plastic: window scratches, cloudiness, discoloration or brittleness.
• Original restraints: plastic ties, elastic or rubber bands may dry out, loosen or snap, particularly in older Monster High dolls and heavier action figures.
• Shifted contents: accessories or figures may move within otherwise unopened packages when original fasteners fail; movement alone is not proof that the package was opened.
• Manufacturing variations: legitimate differences in colors, cardbacks, graphics, factory paint, packaging or stickers may occur.

Known substantial damage, visibly displaced contents or serious age-related staining will be described specifically when identified. Some older items may be marked Not Recommended for Mint-on-Card Collectors.

OLDER TOYS, DEMO BATTERIES & ELECTRONICS

Original TRY-ME or demonstration batteries were intended for brief demonstrations, not decades of storage. They may be depleted, leaving sounds, lights or motors non-operational even in new, factory-sealed toys. We generally do not open sealed collectibles to test them.

Original batteries may also leak or corrode naturally over time inside compartments we cannot inspect. Unless expressly promised in an individual listing, original batteries and demonstration features are untested and not guaranteed to work.

If you intend to open an older toy, have the manufacturer's specified replacement batteries available. Inspect the compartment before use, and do not touch suspected battery residue with bare hands or operate visibly damaged electronics. Report concerns you notice upon delivery under our Returns & Cancellations Policy.

DIGITAL CODES, DLC & VIRTUAL BONUSES

Some older physical collectibles originally included downloadable content, game codes, promotional items or virtual bonuses. An unused code may still be redeemable—but other codes may have expired, been limited to a promotion, or depended on a discontinued platform.

Unused does not guarantee redeemable. Unless an individual listing expressly promises a valid working code, any original code or digital insert is an untested historical bonus, with no guaranteed redemption or ongoing platform support. The item being sold is the described physical collectible; specific listing promises and applicable consumer rights still apply.

CRYPT RAIDERS' DIVINE SELECTIONS

WHITE-GLOVE PERSONALIZED COLLECTOR SERVICE

Particular about corners, stickers, cardbacks, packaging variations or exact-unit photographs? We understand.

Contact us before purchasing to discuss hand-selection from available inventory, photographs of a specific unit, or extra protective packing. Additional fees may apply and will be disclosed before purchase. Divine Selections provides personalized attention, not a mint-condition or professional-grading guarantee.

See Our Services for other options, including Finders Keepers collectible sourcing, or Contact Us to inquire.

PACKED BY THE KEEPERS

We personally inspect, handle and carefully pack each order using protective materials appropriate to its size, weight, fragility and packaging. Packaging-sensitive collectibles ship in appropriately protective boxes; suitable durable merchandise may travel in protective mailers.

Our fulfillment packing process is recorded for quality control. We do not dropship our collectible inventory. We cannot control every carrier event, but we take our part of the journey seriously.
