Like New: A magazine that looks new but has been read. Cover has no visible wear. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears. Very minimal wear and tear, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing present. Center images or centerfold intact. We generally do not list items with this grade as it is very high standards. If the item is known to be new old stock or in factory packaging, this may apply.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing present. Very minimal wear and tear. Center photos or centerfold intact.

Good: This magazine has been read but is in decent condition. Some damage evident to the cover including scuff marks, small holes or tears, and finger marks. Binding has minimal wear. The majority of pages are undamaged with minimal creasing or tearing. No missing pages. This category can quite a bit of variance. Center images or centerfold intact. We categorize these as ‘B’ listings in the title and is the general listing for Good. Distinctive wear will be listed as ‘C’, ‘D’ listings to show the actual wear.

Acceptable: A magazine with obvious and heavy wear. The binding can be damaged. Possible writing in margins, possible underlining and highlighting of text. Missing pages, loose centerfold, or loose cover is possible. Water exposure possible. The listing will describe the specific issues.
