Condition Grading
Our condition grading terminology is defined as follows. Most movie posters prior to 1990 were folded by the printer (factory folded) before being shipped to theaters. When a condition grading includes the word 'folded,' that usually refers to factory folds. If you have questions regarding the condition of a specific poster, feel free to get in touch.
Fine | May have minimal wear with possible pinholes in the borders and/or slight fold wear. Minor tape on the back and very small tears are also allowable as is slight fading. |
Very Good to Fine | In slightly more used condition than fine, but still very presentable. |
Very Good | May have some fold separation, border staining or small tears, but the image is still relatively clean. |
Good to Very Good | Slightly below average used condition. Can use restoration but is still fairly presentable. |
Good | Below average used condition, could benefit from linen-backing. |
Fair to Good | Significant condition issues, requires linen-backing. |
Fair | Major condition issues, requires linen-backing. |
