Point of order for stupid people like me:
Does " substantial graphite writing on surface area" mean that someone scribbled all over it with pencil?

Alan -
Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. I seem to feel the way you do. I know it's been discussed ad nauseum but it really is too bad there isn't a hobby standard as to grading. I know for a fact that if eMovieposter, Heritage and Morrie Everett had the same poster we'd see three very different grades. (Said with respect.)

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

Hello All -
I have no idea how the various sellers settle on grading posters. Seems everyone has their own level of expertise and standards but...
If I were personally selling a folded poster with this description I definitely would NOT say it was Fine+. I'd be afraid of angering the buyer once they received it.
"An unrestored poster with good color and an overall very presentable appearance. It may have edge and fold wear, pinholes, substantial graphite writing on surface area, chips, remnants from previously adhered paper, staining on the verso, small tears, creasing, and unobtrusive smudging."
Your thoughts?
Glenn
