  Especially in case of physical media. “Hey, here’s a cool game/movie/recording. Now slap it in a box and never use it again.”

  (well, ROM/optical and other media that doesn’t wear away, anyway - if it’s a floppy, that’s going to probably degrade anyway, might as well slap it in a box)

  What is ‘grading’ in this context? I’ve not encountered it before.

    determining how ‘good’ something is preserved, e.g. does a valuable comic book looks like it has been read? (loose pages, bend pages, smudges, faded colours…) and depending on how pristine that book looks it gets a grade.
