Condition Grades
Mint - An unused poster, almost as pristine as when initially printed. Exceedingly difficult grade to achieve.
Near Mint - Unused or carefully used, but showing some minor signs of age or storage wear. The folds on the poster should be clean - that is standard and not considered a flaw for pre-1980's movie posters.
Very Fine - Movie poster shows minimal signs of wear and usage with no pin holes, fold damage or paper loss. The image area should be clean and bright, the paper supple, not brittle.
Fine - A poster in average used condition. Movie poster might show pinholes in the corners, edge wear, small tears on edges or image area and minor discoloration.
Very Good - Below average condition due to being heavily used, but with little paper loss. Paper may show slight stains, soiling and larger pinholes in corners and small holes in the image area proper. Movie poster may also have defects such as light ink markings, tape on the back of the paper and substantial border damage. A poster in this category may be a restoration candidate.
Good - A very heavily used, worn and brittle movie poster. Paper may be missing chunks of paper, show heavy dirt, water stains and/or significant discoloration.
Fair - Heavily used as above with tape on verso or on front of poster with a substantial number of holes in poster, especially in image area.
