MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM
NM=Near Mint- The highest grade that there is, Essentially flawless copies with little or no evidence of ever having been handled or read. The very finest copies available anywhere!VF/VF+=Very Fine/Very Fine Plus- Perhaps one or two VERY MINOR flaws often times from original bundling and shipping. Magazines in this grade are certain to enhance any collection.
F/F+=Fine/Fine Plus- The most popular grade. Used copies that have been handled carefully, have been well protected and preserved with no outstanding flaws. Well above average condition.
VG+=Very Good Plus- Just a bit short of Fine grade (in many cases it’s hard to tell the difference)and priced accordingly. Many collectors consider this grade to be the best value-collector quality without paying for near perfection.
VG=Very Good- Obviously used copies with minor flaws such as corner creases, some light cover soiling or rubbing,minor spine wear, etc. Overall these are above average condition and do have collector value.
G= Good - Average well-read copies. These are complete and unmutilated but have some or all of the usual defects such as rubbing or soiled covers, creases, spine wear, etc. These make excellent reading or "filler" copies, but with the exception of the early issues (1953-1963) they have minimal collector value.
Please keep in mind that the condition of used magazines that are many years old is a very subjective thing. My idea of the condition may not agree with yours, please look at the condition guide to see how I grade my magazines. The images of the magzines are stock photos, not the actual magazine you will get, all of my magazines are in Very Good Plus condition to Very Good condition. I am listing them all as Very Good condition even though it is highly likely that the magazines you buy from me will be in Very Good Plus condition, everyone who has emailed me back about the magazines they bought say that they were in much better condition then they thought they would be. If unhappy with the condition I will glady refund your money if you send the magazine(s) back
