WHAT THE GRADES MEAN:NEAR MINT (NM): Looks new. If it's old, it was probably bagged by a collector upon purchase.VERY FINE: basically looks new, but close inspection will reveal some minor flaw such as minimal scuffing, or tiny creases on edges of cover.FINE: Very minor wear such as small creases on edge of cover or very minor scuffing, but obviously stored & handled with care. No tears, spine is tight, inside pages are clean & undamaged.NEAR FINE: Minor wear from normal handling such as creasing on edges of cover, minor scuffmarks, one or two very small tears (less than half an inch) on cover edges -- any tears will be mentioned in description. Still, spine is tight and inside pages are clean and undamaged.VERY GOOD: The average used magazine. Minor but noticeable scuffmarks and creasing on cover, perhaps a few small tears (less than an inch) near edges. Spine may be slightly rolled from storage, but is still tight. Inside pages may have minor creasing in corners, but no real damage.GOOD: Intact, cover is present but loose from spine. Not missing pages, but some may have come loose from spine (this will be detailed in the description above if this is the case) All books and magazines are described as accurately as possible. There is assumed to be normal wear and tear unless otherwise noted. Most come from a smoke free home but there are some that are obtained from estate sales. If there is a notable odor or texture, I will note it in the description. I DO combine shipping so please check out my other sales. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing. PAYPAL is preferred. Thank you!Happy bidding!
