Poster Grading Conditions
As music fans, collecting rock, punk, pop, heavy metal music posters of your favourite bands or artists is a major part of being a fan. You may have been to a concert, bought many cassette tapes, records or CDs of your fav band or artist, but how many times would you like to collect concert posters and tour posters you never went to or promo posters for that single that was released or album well here at Music Poster Shop you can purchase a wide range of music posters including concert posters, gig posters and promo posters, we are constantly on the lookout for more music posters to add to our website.
Most of the posters that we sell are original, from back in the day and were likely to be used at some stage. As a result they will likely show various degrees of quality and conditions. Grading is a way to describe the condition of the posters to you the buyer.
We will also be describing any particular flaw of each individual product on the product page as well as the grade.
Mint 10/10 = As new and should not show any signs of being used.
Near Mint 9/10 = Should appear to be in excellent condition but may have some slight flaws such as a slight creasing but overall hardly and blemishes.
Excellent 8/10 = This condition indicates that there may be some slight creasing, dirt or tear but most of these would be minor and unconstructive. The poster should be bright, supple and clean and not have any more than two or three defects.
Very Good+ 7/10 = A poster graded in this condition is still greatly preserved with good colours and non-faded text with an overall good appearance. It may have slight tears and minor stains.
Very Good 6/10 = An average middle grade for poster with significant use of sellotape or blu-tack on the back where a poster has been hung on a wall or pin holes or staples.
Good 5/10 = The Poster will show a lot of wear and tear, the poster maybe slightly brittle due to age, some paper loss or staining or watermarks on posters. There may be some writing in unobtrusive areas on the poster. Posters may have paper loss along edges but no loss to image or text.
Fair 4/10 = Staining on posters may be more pronounced, maybe minor paper loss, more creases and folds, images clear but maybe slight fading to text.
Poor 3/10 = The poster will show some or all of the defects as in fair condition but to more extent. A poster will have major paper loss for example missing corners but no more than 10% fading or discolour or damage to images.
Very Poor 2/10 = The poster will show some or all of the defects as described in poor condition, but to a greater degree and Music Poster Shop will not generally sell an item in this condition, unless it is extremely rare or a notable poster.
