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.

In some cultures a graded copy of Duke Nukem is used instead of a wedding ring

Duke Nukem II was a shareware game. As far as I know, it never got a retail release. You could just order the floppies through the mail and they didn’t come in a fancy box.

Gosh, if someone took $3985 out of my checking account, my balance would be -$3984.76.

Don’t forget to additionally subtract the fee you incurred from allowing your account to go negative!

This is where paying the extra $2 a month for premium banking has its advantages.
Over draft protection, no atm fees, even others, better interest rates, etc.
