CONDITION RATING GUIDELINES:

MINT (M)-I will rarely rate a book/module/magazine as Mint, as even newly purchased items bought new may have small imperfections.  Mint has zero imperfections, shiny gloss cover, perfect spine, staples or binding as new or otherwise, and no writing, marks or highlighting throughout the pages.  Looks as though it was never released to the public.

NEAR MINT (NM)-Nearly perfect with some minor imperfections. Overall look is still as if it had carefully read a few times. Subtle bindery or printing flaws allowed. Corners are sharp and either square or with ever-so-slight blunting, cover inks are bright and reflective, spine is tight and flat, staples are generally centered, pages may be off-white to cream. No cover soiling, tearing, or pieces missing.

VERY FINE (VF)-Outstanding with excellent eye appeal. Overall look is as if it had been read a few times and carefully handled. Limited number of bindery or printing flaws allowed. Corners may have very minor wear, cover inks are bright and moderate to highly reflective, spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break, staples may have slight discoloration, pages can be at worst cream but still supple. Very minor cover soiling or foxing is allowed. No tearing or pieces missing. Cover may have minimal surface wear with a possible 1/4\" or smaller bend that doesn\'t break color. 

FINE (FN)-This grade still has excellent eye appeal. Overall look is as if it had been read a few times and accrued minor handling wear. Limited number of bindery or printing flaws allowed. Corners may have minute wear, cover inks are still moderate to highly reflective, spine is almost completely flat with a few possible stress marks, staples may have slight discoloration, pages can be cream to very light tan. Minor cover soiling or a small tear allowed. A small piece may be missing only if it is a printing/bindery defect. Covers may have minimal surface wear with a possible small crease or two.

VERY GOOD (VG)-Above-average copy that shows minor wear but is fairly flat and clean with decent eye appeal. Overall look is as if read a several times and handled with moderate care. An accumulaton of bindery or printing flaws allowed. Corners typically have blunting, cover inks may be less bright or have reduced reflectivity, spine may have a minor roll with a possible 3/4\" split and minor color breaks, staples may have minor discoloration, and pages can be tannish and somewhat supple. Minor cover soiling and staple tears allowed. A very small piece may be missing. Cover may have minor surface wear with minor to moderate cover creases.  Should not have writing or highlighting and if so it is very minimal and non-intrusive.

GOOD (G)-Average used copy with moderate wear. Overall look is as if read many times and handled with some care. Corners may have blunting, cover may have low reflectivity, spine may have a moderate roll or up to a 1\" split, staples may have discoloration, and pages can be tan but not brittle. Cover soiling and minor to moderate staple tears allowed. Up to 1/4\" triangle may be missing on corner or edge. Cover may have moderate to significant surface wear with moderate cover creases. Cover and centerfold may be loose, but may not be detached. Some writing or highlighting may be present but does not compromise the reading.

ACCEPTABLE  (ACC)-Used copy with substantial wear. Overall look is as if read many times, but is still complete. Corners are likely rounded and worn, cover may have low or no reflectivity, spine may have a roll or up to a 2\" split, staples may have discoloration or rust, and pages can be tan or even brown but not brittle. Moderate cover soiling and moderate staple tears allowed. Up to 5/8\" piece may be missing on corner, edge, or interior page. Cover may have significant surface wear with mag-length cover creases. Cover and centerfold may be detached.  Some writing or highlighting may be present but does not compromise the reading.

GENERAL NOTES:

• I rate all items the same regardless of age, and will note edition/printing ONLY on items from what I consider a true \"collectible\" item.  If you need a printing edition verification, just ask and I will respond.
  
• A Plus (+) or Minus (-) may be added to a grade to note if it may be in between grades
  
• I will try and note grades for modules for the maps and modules separately.  Books that don\'t have detached maps will be graded as 1 item.  Box Sets may have individual grades or notes
  
• Any specific flaws that may be outside of the grade will be listed in the condition notes
  
• I always try and take pictures of specific flaws and multiple pictures for you so you can have the best info before purchase
