Description of Condition
POOR: Usually torn or creased cards, damage to picture or
damage to reverse of card, damaged (rounded) corners also if card is very
dirty.
FAIR: Showing signs of considerable handling, causing corner
or edge damage or a card from one of the better categories listed below with
one of the defects mentioned above.
GOOD: Showing a bit of age with only slight damage such as
slightly damaged corners (not quite 'sharp' corners), slight discolouration
(but not stained), but certainly not torn or creased.
VERY GOOD: Cards are clean on both front & back, with pretty good
sharp corners, we do allow for slight signs of wear along the edges for
example. looking nearly as good as the day they were printed.
EXCELLENT: I would class these as cards that have been handled
but with a lot of care causing no visable damage.
MINT: Not a grading I like to use very often as how can you
expect a collectable to be so old and in 'Mint' condition? Well it is if they
look the same as the day they were printed. To be fair this does include cards
with imperfections which were caused during the printing process which we have
no control over such as off centre printing, slight colour imperfection, marks
caused by faulty printing plates etc...
