this is basically on par with how heritage describes posters ..they have the worst grading in terms of categories IMO..what’s described here if it had all the defects listed I might at best call it good..at least the description appears adequately detailed..think Bruce would have his disclaimer on this ie buyer beware of defects and don’t bid if you can’t live with them..personally I like poor, fair, good, very good, excellent and then fine /near mint ..( other than fine near mint) it pretty much mimics my grade school report card categories kind of nostalgic ( I left out the NI needs improvement category )..best Alan
