         ----------------------------------------------------------
 
Here is the grading scale that I used:
 
Near Mint:  Very well centred and very sharp corners
 
Excellent-Mint:  Corners have very slight wear, but fine otherwise fine.
 
Very Good-Excellent:  Corner wear.  May be off centre.  No creases.
 
Very Good:  A minor crease that doesn't break the surface or minor back
            damage.
 
Good-Very Good:  Has one or more minor creases and corner wear.
 
Fair:  Has a major crease or scuffing.  Corners are no longer the issue.
 
Poor:  Really bad.  Has writing, tears, major back damage, or the like.
