ABOUT CONDITION OF POSTERS: Condition for movie ephemera is an important factor in the prices which will be realized. Grading a poster is very subjective and standards may differ. We list this information in general. The following legend used in this catalogue for condition is recognized by poster collectors and dealers and is taken from MOVIE POSTER PRICE ALMANAC edited by John Kisch (2002 Edition). Mint (M) An unused poster. As pristine as the day it was printed with little exception (Though there may be some posters and lobby cards as well as photographs in this collection that are mint, we have not used this (M) code as a rule. Near Mint (NM) Basically unused or carefully used showing some signs of age or storage but no abuse of any kind. Clean folds (standard and not considered a flaw for posters pre-1980). Post 1980 posters are rolled and the same standards apply. Linen backed posters with no restoration needed, fall into this category. Gallery Note Many posters in this auction which are linen backed may have been categorized as VF or VF-NM for no particular reason. They probably could have all been (NM) as outlined here but if anything we have chosen to downgrade condition in the interest of being on the side of caution. If you have specific questions about linen backed posters, please call 914 882 7356. Very Fine (VF) Minimal signs of wear and usage with usually no pinholes, fold damage or paper loss. Image area is still bright and paper quality not brittle. Posters that have been linen backed usually fall into this category as minor restoration to the fold lines and borders may be likely and evident to a discerning eye. Fine (F) Average used and aged condition showing signs of edge wear, pinholes, slight hairline tears, minor discoloration. Paper is not brittle. Image is still striking and linen backed restoration more evident or has never been linen backed Very Good (VG) Below average, used, trimmed or weathered condition showing little paper loss, slight stains or soiling, larger pinholes, extra prominent folds, light ink or pen marks, tape on the back and prominent border damage. In need of restoration. Good (G) Overly used, worn or brittle, including chunks of missing paper, dirt, dry mounted or laminated , water stains, flaking or discoloration. Poor might be a better term. In the instance of photographs, VF would indicate that there is no flaw worth noting. REGARDING CONDITION OF BOOKS: We have just recently become aware of the process that book sellers use to grade their offerings. Please call if you need VF-G conditions to aid you in your bidding. We would be more than happy to help.
