If the lure has glass or no eyes, then continue to step 3. If you can answer yes to these condition questions, then continue to step 4. If the condition is only about very good, then stop . I don't collect lures which have scratches, paint missing, chips, or are in generally used or heavily fished condition. The objective is to eliminate lures in less than very good condition all together.
Boxes are a little different matter as there is no paint to evaluate.
Grading lures Grading is very hard to do, but you need to determine if the lures are in very good condition or better and especially if they are somewhere near excellent. The exact grade is not important. What we want to do is eliminate discussion of lures that are beat up or have paint chipped off. But, if there is paint missing from the lure, there is no interest. Grading boxes I buy and collect a lot of different kinds of boxes.
