Grading Dust Jackets

Rules for Sellers |

issued with one. |

As New |
As New is to be used only when the dust
jacket is in the same condition in which it was published. |

Fine approaches the condition of As New,
but without being crisp. If the jacket has a small tear, or
other defect, or looks worn, this should be noted. |

A Near Fine dust jacket may have
very light rubbing, but the edges are sharp with no creases or dings. |

dust jacket that does show some small signs of
wear. Any defects must be noted. |
|
Good |

used and worn dust jacket. Any defects must be
noted. |

A Fair dust jacket is heavily worn
and may have a few large tears or missing pieces.
Any defects must be noted. |

that is heavily worn and may be soiled, scuffed,
stained or spotted or may have large missing pieces. |
