I try to
be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention
significant tears, excess creasing, etc.
Some minor handling wear is to be expected.
FINE:
a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some stress at folds, but no
prominent defects.
VERY
GOOD: most of the posters I list fall into this grade. A used poster with some overall wear.
GOOD:
as found, complete unless noted; may have excess fold wear, etc.
FAIR:
rough, with many defects including tears. Small missing pieces, etc.
POOR:
a pretty trashed poster; almost any and every damage may be present.
