Importing Condition NM- vs. NM -

[Kurt D. Koester]

Howdy. I'm wondering if when importing a .txt file that was exported as a .cvs file, if the condition of the comic books for example have a NM- or NM - makes a difference? The space between the M and the -? I have some comic books that are graded as + or - for various grades, so I'm wondering if it makes a difference if there is a space between the grade and the + or -, or if ComicBase even recognizes the + or - for conditions. Thank you.

By Default, CB has NM- (no space) with is 90% of Mint.
It will import NM+, NM + and NM - but they will be added as 'NM+ Condition', 'NM + Condition', and 'NM - Condition' with all set to 100% of Mint.
You can use Menu item 'Setup->Grading...' to add your own conditions before you import. You would supply the value, the display name and the % of Mint value.

Then they will be imported as you want.

However, keep in mind that these are custom conditions. If you try to sell on Atomic Avenue, it won't recognize these Conditions and will give you problems. But for your own use, it would work.

Thank you for your quick reply and explaining it so a novice like me understands. 🙂
