Silverbanks Test

Our Grading System

POOR ( P; 1 ) - There may be numerous creases or fold lines in the photo. There may also be stains, holes, tears or major trimming.

FAIR ( F; 2-3 ) - Not as bad as poor condition, but still showing a lot of wear. These photos will usually have a tear, pin holes or extreme yellowing.

GOOD ( G; 4-6 ) - A photo in good condition but showing its age. It may have staple marks, pin holes, creases or a stain.

VERY GOOD ( VG; 7 ) - Overall very good condition. There may be just one or two flaws - a small crease, bumped corner or a small stain.

EXCELLENT ( E; 8-9 ) - A photo that is excellent in every way. There may be a light scratch or crease or a tiny bump.

NEAR MINT ( NM; 10 ) - This is top grade. We rarely use the term "mint" since even photos that came fresh off the press probably have some inconsistencies.
