Grades of Cards at Apopka Postcard Shoppe |
Mint:
A perfect card just as it comes from the press. No marks, bends or creases. No writing or postmark. A clean and fresh card. |
Excellent:
Like mint appearance with no bends or creases, not
rounded or blunt corners. May be postally used or
unused and with writing and postmark only on address
side. A clean fresh card on picture side. |
Very Good+:
Very minor corner wear. Near excellent Condition. |
Very Good:
Corners may be just a bit blunt or rounded. May
have an almost undetectable crease or bend that
does not detract
from overall appearance of picture side. May be
writing or postally used on address side. A very
collectible card. |
Good:
Corners may be noticeably blunt or rounded with
noticeably slight bends or creases. May be postally
used or writing on address side. Less than Very Good.
|
Average:
Creases and bends more pronounced. Postmark may show
through from address side but not on main portion of
picture. Corners more rounded.
