Grading Policy

Magazine / Ads
All magazines are complete and original, shipped in a polypropylene sleeve for added protection. They will range from Very Good to Fair.  Some are in better shape but none are less.  Most are suitable for framing; most will have a mailing label normally down at bottom of cover does not detract from cover; all inside pages are clean and readable.

Grading categories:

Very Good:  A clean magazine with very minor wear to cover, bright cover and front page may have a very minor corner crease or a small spine chip and is a very nice magazine suitable for framing.

Good:  Will have a little more wear, a small crease or two, but does not detracting from the overall look of cover.  May have some spine separation not more than about an inch or so, back page may have some minor soiling, but still farmable / readable.

Fair:  This is a well read magazine but still all there and not to the point where it’s not presentable.  Will have some creases and may have a small piece or two missing from cover, mainly nothing bigger than quarter in size, on some not all. The back cover may be soiled, creased, and or a small piece missing.  We price these magazines accordingly to there overall condition.

Saturday Evening Post (SEP): These magazines fall into a little different category, as they were printed on a very poor grade of paper.  They tend to always have more problems then the normal magazines you may find them to have a stains, creases, and insect damage.  They attracted insects more than any other magazine due to the low quality of paper they used.

SEP Very Good:  About the same as above very good grade but may have a little more wear.

SEP Good:  About the same as above good grading but may have a little insect damage to spine or out side edge and show a little more overall wear.  Some may have a faint library stamp to the outer edge.

SEP Fair:  About the same as above fair grading but with insect damage to spine and edges of the magazines. However one edge or the other will generally have some damage to it.  More then likely they will have a crease or two on either front or back cover, or have a small piece missing few may have some moisture damage.  This does not effect the either the picture or text of the magazine.  Overall this is still a very readable magazine
