Is it NFIB- New found in box? If it is, then it will be in mint condition in the box with all the tags, clothing, accessories and in "store new" condition. This greatly increases their collectible value.
If it it has the outfit but no tags or accessories and in "store new" condition this is considered Near Mint, doll is very collectible
Excellent- it is almost in nearly not played condition, everything is crisp and dust free, still of value to most dealers
Very good- means it has been gently played with and may have minor flaws i.e. hair out of place, still very collectible, keeps it's value pretty well
Good - played with, a few scratches or thin, frizzy hair and minor fading of clothes, doll is still somewhat in collectible condition but not quite of the same value
Fair- seriously played with, scratched face and missing paint with some damage to the doll, collectible but decreased in value
Poor-terrible condition, only good for parts for restoration process, usually greatly decreases its value
