MY
GRADING SYSTEM
I try to be fair and honest in
my grading, and make every attempt
to mention loose pages,
stains, tears, binding damage, etc.
Sometimes I find that an item
falls between two grades,
in which case I will list it
with a two-grade scale.
NEAR MINT – MINT
: I rarely use these grades,
except when an item is in
truly exceptional condition.
VERY FINE
:
very nice with virtually no major defects.
FINE+:
an
even nicer copy, with minimal obvious defects.
FINE:
a
nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine stress,
but no prominent defects.
FINE-:
better
than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider Fine.
VERY GOOD+:
most
of the items I list fall into this grade;
a typical read item with
obvious defects as noted.
VERY GOOD:
fairly
well-read with an accumulation of tears and defects as noted;
may be heavily creased or spine-rolled.
GOOD:
a
complete but heavily-read item; may be missing pieces of covers,
loose covers, rolled spine or
other noted damage.
FAIR:
a
rough item, with many defects including tears,
missing pieces, water damage,
spine wear, etc.
POOR
: no
missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed item;
almost any and every damage
may be present.
