HOW WE GRADE OUR POSTERS:

GOOD
Poster has been used, and/or repaired. Some traces of wear. There is nothing significantly wrong with the actual image. Possible minor fading or scratches, some imperfections. In addition, there may be cracking of the ink or paper.

FAIR
Signs of usage. Perhaps fold lines, fading, excessive pinholes or possible border paper loss. Poster has definitely been used or abused and needs attention. It is priced with the understanding that; (1) you are not too particular or (2) you plan to invest in repairs. It is still pleasing to the eye. Minor seam wear or splits, writing, tape or sticker, ring wear allowed as long as they are not overwhelming.





HOW WE GRADE OUR VINYL:

NEW
Still sealed. Never played. Presumably mint. May include cutouts.

MINT
Perfect in every way. Found only in a perfect world

NEAR MINT
Basically, it looks like it just came from a retail store and was just opened. It has no visible or audible defects or markings. It has no surface noise when played.

VERY GOOD PLUS/EXCELLENT (VG+)
But for a few minor flaws, it could be called Near Mint. There is slight wear and handling, but little or no effect on its listening experience. The very best are rated VG++ or even VG

VERY GOOD (VG)
Its physical and audible defects are more obvious (some surface noise, light scratches, etc.) but it still provides a fine listening experience.
