About Us & Vintage Ads:
We have been helping people with theirhistorical paper needs for over 15 years as a hobby. We take each transactionseriously and we treat each item with the care and respect it and you \'thebuyer\' deserves. These clips of history are becoming more and more hard to comeby, so we are determined to handle them gently. We have chosen to leave theedges untrimmed to allow you (the buyer), the freedom and the most area to workwith, so the area outside of the given AD area is not considered in the overallgrading of the AD itself.
About Vintage Advertisements
The Vintage Advertisements we sell arenever a later reprint, photocopy or any kind of reproduction, but are theactual, original Advertisements from a Vintage Magazine.
Most print ads were published one timeonly and occasionally as part of an AD \'campaign\', and were likely nevercommercially reproduced. Often a company may use a particular ad more than oncein a year, making subtle changes in subsequent magazines. Making spotting thechanges a bit of a challenge and fun. Vintage Advertisements are truly a uniquefind and distinctive piece for your empty frame!

GRADING STANDARDS
Mint(M) – Perfect as an advertisement orcover could expect to be. There are no visible flaws, dents, dings, scratches,tears, discolorations, or impressions on the paper of the advertisement orcover.
Near Mint (NM) - Minor signs of wearpartly based on age and rarity of advertisement or cover. This conditiondescribes an ad that \'looks perfect\', and has only the smallest and subtlest offlaws, which could include very minor stress marks (the marks that result fromturning a page, which in this grade can only be seen at certain angles) or veryminor printing imperfections. There is no surface wear, tearing, yellowing,staining, pencil/pen marks, or creasing on the paper.
Excellent (EX) - Minor signs of wear nofading of the ink in the artwork. This condition is nearly perfect and allowsfor only slightly more subtle flaws than Near Mint. Minor stress marks, orprinting imperfections, with no surface wear, staining, tearing, yellowing,pen/pencil marks, or creasing to the advertisement or cover. Most people wouldsee nothing wrong with an ad in this grade.
Very Good (VG) - This condition allows for only slightlymore flaws than Excellent. There can be light stress marks barely visible orminor printing imperfections. A corner crease smaller than quarter-inch, or twoslightly less than perfectly sharp corners, or some yellowing at the edges (butnot in the image area), possibly one edge tear smaller than quarter-inch, veryfaint ink ghosting (the presence of ink on the surface from a facing page, orfrom the reverse side), some light tanning of the paper overall from age. Nosurface wear, creasing in the image area, staining, or pen/pencil marks.
Good (G) - This condition allows formore flaws than Very Good, but no significant flaws. There can be some stressmarks that are visible, some light printer\'s ink marks, some light inkghosting, light creasing, a light subscription fold, some light pencil marks,some light surface or edge wear, light surface staining in a small area, edgetears shorter than one and one-half inch, tanning of paper overall but notbrittle. This condition can also describe an otherwise EX ad with only onesignificant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or water stain. It wouldstill look nice in a frame.
Fine (F) - This condition allows formore flaws than G. There may be water staining with some discoloration, but notover the majority of the advertisement. There can be pen marks, a strongsubscription crease, surface wear, foxing, soiling, ink ghosting, impropertrimming into (but not through) a printed border, tears less than three inches,edge wear, tanning overall, surface staining, and other flaws that one mightexpect from an ad that comes from a back cover or has been improperly storedfor years. It can also describe an otherwise \"Good\" ad with onesignificant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or water stain.
Poor (P) - This condition allows forsome serious flaws, and an ad in this shape will challenge the framer. All theflaws of the \"Fine\" condition and may be present on a\"Poor\" ad, along with others such as pieces missing, tape repairs,heavy staining, and soiling, ragged edges, brittle/flaking paper, crayon marks,holes, etc. Rough shape, used mainly for advertisements of such rarity thatthey would still command some value.
Some additional considerations used inGrading Vintage ADs
For the purpose of the collectability ofvintage advertisement and cover art, it is important to remember that thecondition is just one contributing factor to the overall value of a paperephemera item. There are other factors to consider:
Rarity - is how unusual or how easilyreplaced the item might be. Rarity increases value directly in proportion tothe scarcity of the item. Was this item available one time and one time only?On the other hand, was it a part of an ongoing continuing advertising campaignthat showed up repeatedly through the years?
Unusual or Peculiarity – related to theabove. Is there more than one copy readily available in the marketplace? Isthis a one of a kind piece?
Sentiment - perhaps the most elusivequality of the piece. Seldom if ever an issue for strict speculators, but mightbe a big issue with collectors. Debatable if should be included as a‘condition’.
Paper – paper type and acidity, color,and age is another factor to consider.
