TV GUIDE June 29, 1985 St. Louis, Missouri edition MY TV GUIDE 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. TV Guides typically have some staple pull along the spine as the covers are thin and brittle; I try to mention any extreme staple pulls; subscription labels may be present; may be marks on several listings and crossword puzzles may be worked, but I do try to make a note of this in my listings when I spot such things. 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+: many of the magazines I list fall into this grade; a typical read magazine with obvious defects as noted; may have subscription label, stamps or writing inside or on the cover. VERY GOOD: fairly well-read with an accumulation of tears and defects as noted; may be heavily creased or spine-rolled; may have subscription label, stamps or writing inside or on the cover; this is my most often-used condition. GOOD: a complete but heavily-read magazine; may be missing small pieces of covers; covers may be loose ; 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.
