I use the grading system listed below and try to note specific issues. However, grading is subjective and I am not a professional/official grader. Please don't hesitate to message if you have specific questions about an issue and/or condition. Please read this complete description and grading system before you purchase.
EXCELLENT (EXC):
Really great copy, frameable cover/pages, clean, tight binding/pages, completely intact, good color with little-to-no fading, no rips or tears.
VERY GOOD (VG):
Very nice copy, very lightly used and clean, frameable cover/pages though little less so than excellent, tight binding/pages, completely intact, good color but maybe some slight fading, no rips or tears, mild signs of use or age.
GOOD (G):
Nice copy, mild to moderate signs of use or age, cover most likely still frameable but minor issues with curling or fading or wear, good binding and pages, intact without serious damage.
FAIR (F):
More visibly used or slightly damaged (noted in item listing), cover could still be frameable with some blemishes, binding may be loose and/or a page or two loose but intact, clearer signs of use and age.
POOR (P):
Still usable, but with more significant damage (noted in item listing). Many “poor” items are damaged only in one place (i.e. most pages are very good).
Common to all old magazines:
Many magazines have a mailing label/stamp, front or back, and will be noted in the description.
Most vintage magazines have a faint musty odor, and your magazine may arrive with a slight musty odor. This is easily eliminated by removing the magazine from the plastic bag and spreading it open to air out for a couple days.
Please see my feedback for assurances of speed and quality and feel free to message if it seems like your item is taking extra long to arrive. Thanks, and I appreciate your patience.
