FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLES BOOKS
PAPERBACK BOOK GRADING STANDARDS


CONDITION: Condition is extremely important to many who collect SF material. Therefore, I carefully grade each item, being conservative when in doubt.

  • VERY FINE A nearly new paperback; may have been read but no cover crease is obvious. No markings or imprints.
  • FINE Excellent condition, with no tears or creases. Lustre remaining on laminated covers, pages closer to white than yellow. No tape anywhere, very slight wear-item has been read but carefully. Cover crease may be visible upon close inspection, but is not dominant.
  • VERY GOOD Shows some signs of wear. May have minor creases or very slight spine roll. Paper not as white as fine.
  • GOOD An average copy showing and considerable wear, though not yet falling apart. May be taped. Spine may be coming loose top and bottom. Pages more yellow than white. Heavy creases in cover.
