Our Condition Rating

Excellent – We almost never rate anything as excellent because to us, excellent means brand new and still in packaging. If we’ve only removed it from the box for photography, it still receives a "very good" rating.

Very Good – This is where most of our items fall. To us, this means as close to excellent as possible: museum-quality, with no imperfections unless noted (and even then, only very minor ones).

Good – Acceptable. Worth owning, especially if it’s difficult to find in better condition.

Fair – Rough condition. Only rated fair if the item has substantial historical value or is salvage-worthy.
