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.
