  • Posters in Grade A are in very good condition for their age but may show light signs of handling.
  • Minor edge wear, small creases, or pinholes may be present, but there are no major flaws like large tears or significant stains.
  • Colours are generally strong, though slight fading may be evident due to age.
  • Perfect for collectors looking for well-preserved posters that retain their original appeal despite minor imperfections.

  • Posters in Grade B show moderate signs of age and wear but are still in good, displayable condition.
  • There may be small tears along the edges, some creasing, or light discoloration.
  • More noticeable pinholes, surface wear, or minor repairs could be present, but the artwork is still largely intact.
  • Suitable for collectors who appreciate vintage posters with a bit of character and history, reflecting their age and use.

Grade CFair Condition

  • Posters in Grade C show significant signs of wear and aging.
  • You may find noticeable tears, heavier creases, fading, or stains that affect the overall appearance.
