| MY PULP
GRADING SYSTEM |
|
| I try to
be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention
significant damage. Pulp magazines were printed on low-grade paper, and are
typically browning and heavily tattered and chipped at the edges. Unless listed in high grade (Fine) you
should expect all of the above to be present |
|
| FINE:a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine
stress, but no prominent defects unless noted.
|
|
| VERY
GOOD: a better-than-average pulp; well-read with an accumulation of tears and
defects as noted; brittle.
|
|
| GOOD:a complete but heavily-worn magazine; brittle; may be missing
pieces of covers, tattered or loose covers; spine damage, etc.
|
|
| FAIR:a rough magazine; brittle, with many defects including tears.
missing pieces, water damage, spine wear, etc.
|
|
| POOR: no missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed
magazine; brittle; almost any and every damage may be present.
