                  MOVIE PAPER GRADING

I do not use the term Mint to describe or grade any Movie Paper item, I live in the real world. BEWARE of listings that describe/grade an item as Very Good-Near Mint.(what's that all about?).

Near Mint C10: Can have minor storage or handling defect,like some very slight crinkling, wrinkling, edge bumps or a very small crease or very small tear on the white borders Only, may have one pin hole in each corner or other very minor flaws, can have a slightly offset color registration, very light compression mark indentation, no edge fraying, One Sheets were normally machine quarter folded until resent times, can have very slight fold wear if it does not significantly affect the eye appeal of the image. Lobby Cards may have a couple of tiny corner tip bends, slight surface wear, no creases. 

Excellent-Near Mint C9: Minimal signs of use, bright & clean, nothing major, could have an accumulation of several minor ones, could be a small border chip, no creases on Lobby Cards, can have some light very small corner tip bends on lobby cards, normal minor crease on One Sheets, couple of pin holes in each corner or very small border tears, slight aging on older items could be present, maybe signs of wear and fold line marks.  

Excellent C8: Above average item with minor signs of use, bright and clean, no major defects, could have several minor ones, very small border chip, no creases on Lobby Cards, aging on older pieces but no browning, may have small corner tip bends and minor edge bumps,couple of light handling indent marks on Lobby Cards, posters could have mild fold wear, some edge crinkling, no fraying, no tape or writing on front.  

Very Good-Excellent C7: Still a very nice item, typically an item in this grade is almost C8 but one or two unsightly flaws like heavier than normal fold wear or more pin holes, can have small separations at cross folds. No heavy damp stains this will eliminate the item from a C7, can have moderate handling wear, a few light small dent marks and several corner bend marks on Lobby Cards.

Very Good C6: Typical used item in average condition with wear and defects to be expected. Posters can have slight browning of paper but no brittleness or flaking, separations at cross folds and fold ends, may also have small amount of writing in some unobtrusive portion of the poster, minor border repair, corner bend marks, edge tears, piece of tape in corners, some minor stains and other signs of average use, posters may have fold tears, normal creases, should be complete, moderate to heavier wear, One Sheet stamp on back minor bleed-through, small pen markings on front can be present, heavier fold wear, some crinkling and creases, some edge bumps, surface wear on Lobby Cards and photos may be present.                

Good-Very Good C5: Below average item showing significant signs of use such as heavy handling wear, scuffing, multiple pin,tack, staple holes, tape, larger tears, soiling, pieces missing, large separations at cross folds, excessive markings or pen, pencil marks, Lobby Cards may have creases corner bends, surface wear.

Good C4: I try not to offer this grade, it depends on what it is. 

Pressbooks that have 1 or 2 cut-outs doesn't necessarily lower the overall grade of the book if the cut-outs don't affect the text or photos within.
