Grading of Postcards
MINT (M): Perfect condition, no apparent blemishes, flaws, postally unused, may have some writing on back.

NEAR MINT (NM): Like new, image is uncompromised, may have slight discoloration due to age, maybe postally used, possible one or two hardly noticeable signs of wear, maybe writing on back.

EXCELLENT (E): Like new, some signs of age, possible discoloration, may have album marks or residue on back, may have light crease, may be postally used or have writing on card but over all a super nice card.

VERY GOOD (VG): May have signs of wear, possible discoloration due to age, maybe album marks or residue on back, maybe postally used or written on, maybe minor soiling , possibly creases, small tears or chipping but image is still good.

GOOD (G): Signs of wear, maybe creases or tears, possible discoloration, maybe album marks or residue on back, possible writing on back, maybe postally used but better than average.

AVERAGE (A): Given its age and circumstances, average would generally apply to postally used cards with expected wear and tear. Still a decent find but not top notch.

POOR (P): We only sell cards in poor condition when we have fully disclosed their condition or as part of a "grab bag" group. These will always be at a very low cost and are sold "as is" and all such sales are final-- no returns on these.
