Condition Grading

 

blue ball.gif (264 bytes) M - Mint Condition  

An item or items classified as " Mint Condition" have never been used.   The artwork, pictures, and colors of the item(s) are exceptionally vibrant and unmarred.  Usually found in orginal, unopened packages.

An item or items classified as "Near Mint Condition" have never or hardly ever been used.  The artwork, pictures, and colors of the item(s) are vibrant.   An item or items may show only the the slightest evidence of wear.

blue ball.gif (264 bytes) EX - Excellent  

As in the "Near Mint Condition", items that are classified as "Excellent Condition" have never or hardly ever been used.  The artwork, pictures, and colors of the item(s) are vibrant, though there may be some worn edges (as in posters), slight bend or roll, or faint markings on some items.  These markings, however, do not deter from the original image.

An item or items classified as  "Good Condition" show(s) traces of wear.   There is, however, nothing significantly wrong with the image or product.   Slight fading or small scratches may be evident.

An item or items classified as  "Fair Condition" show(s) traces of wear.   Fading, scratches, binding separation, or small tears may be evident.
