I think that the term MIB (Mint in Box) was conceived first.
Later, the term MISB (Mint in Sealed Box) was created because
MIB was not specific enough.  I don't think either term is
specific to the Lego market.

To me, the better question is, "How is 'mint' defined"?  It
would seem that if pieces were removed and touched, then they
are no longer 'mint'.  That is why, for the most part, I try
not to buy anything labeled MIB unless I can really get a good
look, or detailed description of just what shape the parts are
in.

Is MISB meaningless?

Surly if a Lego set is still sealed inside inside its box it must be in • mint
condition, and if it is not there is no way of knowing?

Surly IMSB  or ISB is better?

(...) Yeah, too bad that we can't really have a true standard. Maybe we need to do something like: Pieces Complete Instructions | Box ===...===|===...===|...|===...=== M (mint) | C (complete) | M (mint) | S (sealed) G (good) | L (lacking) | G (good) (...)
