About Us &Vintage Ads:
We have been helpingpeople with their historical paper needs for over 15 years as a hobby. We takeeach transaction seriously and we treat each item with the care and respect itand you \'the buyer\' deserves. These clips of history are becoming more and morehard to come by, so we are determined to handle them gently. We have chosen toleave the edges untrimmed to allow you (the buyer), the freedom and the mostarea to work with, so the area outside of the given AD area is not consideredin the overall grading of the AD itself.
About Vintage Advertisements
The VintageAdvertisements we sell are never a later reprint, photocopy or any kind ofreproduction, but are the actual, original Advertisements from a VintageMagazine.
Most print ads werepublished one time only and occasionally as part of an AD \'campaign\', and werelikely never commercially reproduced. Often a company may use a particular admore than once in a year, making subtle changes in subsequent magazines. Makingspotting the changes a bit of a challenge and fun. Vintage Advertisements aretruly a unique find and distinctive piece for your empty frame!

GRADING STANDARDS
Mint(M) –Perfect as an advertisement or cover could expect to be. There are no visibleflaws, dents, dings, scratches, tears, discolorations, or impressions on thepaper of the advertisement or cover.
Near Mint (NM)- Minor signs of wear partly based on age and rarity of advertisement or cover.This condition describes an ad that \'looks perfect\', and has only the smallestand subtlest of flaws, which could include very minor stress marks (the marksthat result from turning a page, which in this grade can only be seen atcertain angles) or very minor printing imperfections. There is no surface wear,tearing, yellowing, staining, pencil/pen marks, or creasing on the paper.
Excellent (EX)- Minor signs of wear no fading of the ink in the artwork. This condition is nearlyperfect and allows for only slightly more subtle flaws than Near Mint. Minorstress marks, or printing imperfections, with no surface wear, staining,tearing, yellowing, pen/pencil marks, or creasing to the advertisement orcover. Most people would see 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 for more flaws than Very Good, but no significant flaws.There can be some stress marks that are visible, some light printer\'s inkmarks, some light ink ghosting, light creasing, a light subscription fold, somelight pencil marks, some light surface or edge wear, light surface staining ina small area, edge tears shorter than one and one-half inch, tanning of paperoverall but not brittle. This condition can also describe an otherwise EX adwith only one significant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or waterstain. It would still look nice in a frame.
Fine (F) -This condition allows for more flaws than G. There may be water staining withsome discoloration, but not over the majority of the advertisement. There canbe pen marks, a strong subscription crease, surface wear, foxing, soiling, inkghosting, improper trimming into (but not through) a printed border, tears lessthan three inches, edge wear, tanning overall, surface staining, and otherflaws that one might expect from an ad that comes from a back cover or has beenimproperly stored for years. It can also describe an otherwise \"Good\"ad with one significant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or waterstain.
Poor (P) -This condition allows for some serious flaws, and an ad in this shape willchallenge the framer. All the flaws of the \"Fine\" condition and maybe 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 suchrarity that they would still command some value.
Some additionalconsiderations used in Grading Vintage ADs
For the purpose ofthe collectability of vintage advertisement and cover art, it is important toremember that the condition is just one contributing factor to the overallvalue of a paper ephemera item. There are other factors to consider:
Rarity - ishow unusual or how easily replaced the item might be. Rarity increases valuedirectly in proportion to the scarcity of the item. Was this item available onetime and one time only? On the other hand, was it a part of an ongoingcontinuing advertising campaign that showed up repeatedly through the years?
Unusual orPeculiarity – related to the above. Is there more than one copy readilyavailable in the marketplace? Is this a one of a kind piece?
Contribution –how does a particular item fit into a collection? If there are ten items in aparticular collection – perhaps graded at a certain grade – may be worth moreas a sum of the collection often than as each individual by itself.
Sentiment - perhapsthe most elusive quality of the piece. Seldom if ever an issue for strictspeculators, but might be a big issue with collectors. Debatable if should beincluded as a ‘condition’.
Marketability– Looks at the potential buyers available for a particular item. What has thisitem sold for historically, and what is the demand for this particular piecenow? The internet and online sales have changed the way we shop for andcollect vintage advertisements and covers. In some ways, these new sales channelshave decreased the marketability of the more ‘common’ items. On the other hand,the rarer and more collectible items now bring more buyers to the hobby orvocation. These conditions, in turn, could translate into more sales and a moreuniform grading and archival system.
Paper – papertype and acidity, color, and age is another factor to consider.
