Similar stories are also seen with other industries and interests, regarding unofficial or local grades which become popular myths and exploited marketing tools.<p>Examples include the timber industry (e.g. &quot;AAA&quot;-graded wood), the video game collecting scene (e.g. WATA controversy), the grading of martial arts belt colours.
