POSTER CONDITION GRADING SYSTEM & CHART
We do our best at accurately describing the “general” condition of our posters (concert, promo, store, etc). We assign a condition to each poster which is applicable to a “generalized condition” category – this is always noted in the poster description detail. Most of our posters were actually used in our record stores, so we usually do not grade above a VG unless it is in exceptional condition.
The condition details we use is the following:
NM: Poster is crisp, clean and almost perfect.
EX: Poster is almost new - may have very very slight imperfections.
VG: Shows minor aging. Slight edge/corner and possible surface wear or slight creasing.
G: Visible signs of aging and wear (edge/corner/surface/tears). Possible discoloration and/or creasing/wrinkling.
F: Distinctive signs of aging and wear: Tears, pinholes, slight creases, edge/corner and surface wear. Possible tape restoration -- but simply still a very cool collectible piece.
P: Has characteristics of FAIR condition but with irreversable damage or wear. Has historic / nostalgic value for a serious collector.
