JAMMER'S HANDBOOK #16 MOTORCYCLE PARTS CATALOG/MAGAZINE MY
MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM I try to
be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention loose or
cut pages, stains, tears, binding damage, etc. Sometimes I find that a
magazine falls between two grades, in which case I will list it with a
two-grade scale. NEAR
MINT - MINT : I rarely use these grades, except when a
magazine is in truly exceptional condition. VERY
FINE : very nice with virtually no major defects. FINE+: an even nicer copy, with minimal obvious defects. FINE: a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine stress,
but no prominent defects. FINE-: better than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider
Fine. VERY
GOOD+: most of the magazines I list fall into this grade; a
typical read magazine with obvious defects as noted. VERY
GOOD: fairly well-read with an accumulation of tears and
defects as noted; may be heavily creased or spine-rolled; may have browning;
light water stains may be present. GOOD: a complete but heavily-read magazine; may be missing pieces of
covers, loose covers, rolled spine or other noted damage. FAIR: a rough magazine, with many defects including tears. missing
pieces, water damage, spine wear, etc. POOR: no missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed
magazine; almost any and every damage may be present.
