Postcard Grading Information
Postcard and Trade Card Grading:
MINT: A perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks, bends, or creases. No writing or postmarks.
NEAR MINT: Like mint but very light aging of very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years. Not as sharp or crisp.
EXCELLENT: Like mint in appearance with no bends or creases, or rounded or blunt corners. May be postally used or unused and with writing and postmark only on the address side. A clean, fresh card on the picture side.
VERY GOOD: Corners may be just a bit blunt or rounded. Almost undetectable crease or bend that does not detract from overall appearance of the picture side. May have writing or postally used on the address side. A very collectible card.
GOOD: Corners may be noticeably blunt or rounded with noticeable slight bends or creases. May be postally used or have writing on address side.
