Is "Unmolested" the new term for non-manipulation?

So Matt, Joey and Brent go to this seller's house after they see an ad for a high grade, OO collection going for guide...

I think the days of arguing over pressing is gone.

I'm noticing in more and more posts and on consignment shops I am seeing the word "unmolested" as a term to describe a collectible that has not been pressed or otherwise tampered.

 

Do we really need such a negative term to describe something positive? I know I don't hang out here like I used to but gesh.

 

Discuss amongst yourselves.

 

I prefer 'virgin'.

 

+1 but sometimes lean toward "virginal" which has a slightly greater air of mystery to it

If a book has been "open and read", it is no longer virgin.

 

Careful, Joey, your agenda's showing.

 

By the time a book gets to the "pressed" stage it falls under the tramp or whore category.

 

Maybe it's time for another PSA

 

Skips the tramp/whore designation and goes straight to slut.
