Lobby Card Grading Guide 
 
This guide is designed to give the customer the best indication of what the condition of the card/s are like. The terms we use such as "Mint", "Fine" etc are general headings used on the product page. These headings are fully explained in the paragraphs below. Should more information be required on any product please do not hesitate to use our "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page.
 
 
Mint
The lobby card is unused and has no pin holes, tears, tape marks, edge wear, fold creases or stains.
 
Near Mint
The image artwork area is in excellent condition and a few clean pin holes in the borders may be apparent. Some light edge wear may be apparent from storage, age or from the previous owner. The age of the lobby card often can determine this. Careful framing will disguise this.
 
Fine
The image is clear of any defects with the exception of clean pin holes, small scuffs or wrinkles. You may find slight stains and maybe clean pieces of tape or slight creases in corners or on the reverse side of the lobby card. Some slight edge wear or creases along borders may potentially also be present, careful framing will disguise this.
 
Very Good
A lobby card of this condition may have pin holes in corners, some small tears or fading and some slight scuffing or light wear along the borders. Maybe some slight staining and creases in the image and slight creases, paper separation or slight pen marks along the borders. The lobby card of this condition will display nicely as the signs of wear are largely on the edges and borders and any good framer will be able to disguise these with matting and a decent frame. 
 
Good
Typically this type of lobby card will show its flaws. Some staining or fading could be present with tearing, paper separation or pen marks along the borders and in the image. Corner creases or small creases in the image are present.
 
Poor / Fair
Pieces of the image could be missing in key areas and the lobby card could be significantly stained. All of the above flaws in the categories mentioned would be present. Certain defects that may not be able to be repaired. This type of card would be bought usually on the basis that it is virtually impossible to get on its own or if it is a set it is very sort after due to it being complete.
