ARGOSY PULP MAGAZINE February 22, 1936 Max Brand story . 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.
