THE DIFFERENT CONDITION OF A POSTER

If a vintage poster is appreciated for its rarity, subject, signature or age and sometimes its size, it is also appreciated by its condition, which is an important component of its value. Please find below the different states of the vintage posters proposed by www.posterissim.com


New
: near mint. The poster has been handled but never used and has been carefully stored. This condition generally applies to the most recent posters.

*

Excellent condition : also called "condition A" or "very fine" (very good condition). The condition of the poster is above average even if it shows slight traces of use. The poster has no major flaws and is not missing anything. Only minor defects are accepted, such as pinholes or slight discoloration on older objects. www.posterissim mainly sells posters in this state.

*

Very good condition : "fine" (good condition). The condition of the poster is close to "excellent condition" but with some additional defects such as slight tears or more pronounced folds.

*

Good condition : also known as "condition B". The visual is clean but has more pronounced defects than those of the previous conditions, sometimes with traces of moisture or yellowing of the paper. These defects have been corrected during the restoration process, followed by washing and mounting.

*

Correct condition : "C" or "fair" (suitable condition). The condition of the poster is below average, with a multiplication of defects (missing, discoloured, scotch, damaged edges), but remains very presentable.

*

Bad condition : "condition D" or "poor". Poster torn into several pieces, often with significant gaps and severe discoloration. Except for exceptional documents (historical or cultural) requiring extensive restoration, www.posterissim.com does not sell posters in this condition.
