MINI GRADING GUIDE
Because hobbies have different words for describing condition, I'd like to tell you how I grade the types of collectibles I sell.
Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
A full list of typical conditions range from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
Current local sales tax will be charged for items shipped to the State of Washington.
