Poster Quality Grading
C10 - Mint
Item is "as new" or in the same condition as the day it was made. The item may or may not literally
be in "perfect" condition, but it does exhibit an amazing state of preservation with virtually no perceptible flaws of any kind.
C9 - Near Mint
Superb. Unused or very carefully used, but with some minor storage defect, minor tear,
one pinhole in each corner or some other very minor flaw on an otherwise unused poster.
C8 – Excellent (Condition A, or Very Fine)
Item may be in "never-used" condition
or may have been used, but was carefully preserved after use. An above-average poster exhibiting minimal signs of use. Bright and clean.
C7 - Very Good to Excellent (Fine)
Still a very nicely preserved item. Typically, an item in
this grade will have two unsightly flaws, or heavier than normal fold wear or pinholes, or one small piece of tape on a corner.
C6 - Very Good (Condition B)
The typical used
poster in average condition. A sound example, although with wear and defects to be expected of an item
that was intended to be used and re-used. Unusual problems should be described.
C5 - Good to Very Good
A heavily-worn item, showing significant signs of use such as multiple pinholes or
staple holes, tape, tears, soiling, pieces missing, small markings or pen/pencil marks.
Item are are relegated to this classification when there is a greater number of general
flaws than would normally be expected in the higher grade.
C4 - Good
Below average but still suitable for display. Heavily used, with significant
signs of use that affect the overall eye appeal of the piece. Small pieces may be
missing from the borders. Could have tape, writing, or tears.
C3 - Fair (Condition D)
Heavily worn, but yet still complete
C2 - Poor to Fair
An extremely worn, possibly even incomplete item.
C1 - Poor
The lowest grade, representing items in the lowest possible condition. Heavily damaged, possibly missing large pieces, possibly brittle and crumbling.
