Minor creases are normal in this condition. There may be some very minor color fading. Writing on the back of the poster that does not bleed through is permissible.
A poster in Fine condition may have an obvious flaw or two as well as several minor ones. Small tears and heavier creases may be present although the clarity and completeness of the artwork should not be affected. Small stains, small areas of paper loss, or some minor tape may be present. Writing on the front is permissible in this condition only if it is small and located in the border.
A poster in Good condition will be heavily worn but still presentable. Larger tears and even small missing pieces may be may be present.
Some soiling or staining may be present. While the overall eye appeal will be affected, posters in Good condition should still be intact. A poster in Poor condition shows extreme wear.
