MY MOVIE POSTER GRADING SYSTEM

I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention significant tears, excess creasing, etc. Older movie posters were typically issued folded; unless I specify "rolled" they are folded, as found. Creases, occasional pinholes at corners, stress and wear along folds, etc. are typical. Sometimes I find that a poster falls between two grades, in which case I will list it with a two-grade scale.

FINE:a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some stress at folds, but no prominent defects.

VERY GOOD: most of the posters I list fall into this grade. A used poster with some overall wear.

GOOD:as found, complete unless noted; may have excess fold wear, etc.

FAIR:rough, with many defects including tears. Small missing pieces, etc.

POOR: a pretty trashed poster; almost any and every damage may be present.
