may vary due to monitor/ computer settings Most of the old magazine

were mailed by folding them - postal workers placed them into the mailboxes

Ads: We have been helping people
with their historical paper needs for over 15 years as a hobby. We take each
transaction seriously and we treat each item with the care and respect it and
you 'the buyer' deserves. These clips of history are becoming more and more
hard to come by, so we are determined to handle them gently. We have chosen to
leave the edges untrimmed to allow you (the buyer), the freedom and the most
area to work with, so the area outside of the given AD area is not considered
in the overall grading of the AD itself. About Vintage
Advertisements The Vintage
Advertisements we sell are never a later reprint, photocopy or any kind of
reproduction, but are the actual, original Advertisements from a Vintage
Magazine. Most print ads were
published one time only and occasionally as part of an AD 'campaign', and were
likely never commercially reproduced. Often a company may use a particular ad
more than once in a year, making subtle changes in subsequent magazines. Making
spotting the changes a bit of a challenge and fun. Vintage Advertisements are
truly a unique find and distinctive piece for your empty frame! Vintage AD's are
wonderful matted, framed and hung in a theme room, hallway, cabin, or
boathouse, how about the pool or recreation rooms? Great Décor for your business
as well! Some of these ads and vintage Magazine Covers are terrific works of
art done by some notable artists like Norman Rockwell, Dean Cornwell, Douglas
Crockwell, George Petty, William Steig, Charles E. Martin, Dick Sargent,
Ricardo Magni, Jean Hugo, and so, so many more… Uses for Vintage Ads Vintage Ads make great
AD-ditions (or start) to your Vintage AD Collection! Vintage ADs can be used
in Scrap Booking, Decoupage, or Decorations/Artwork. So many possibilities!
You can Archive them or artwork them... Vintage Magazine Covers
are great art decor the aging and wear add character and mystique. Many of the
old New Yorker magazine covers have a subscription crease down the middle of
the magazine because they were mailed by folding them - postal carriers placed
them into the mailboxes that way. To add to that some men carried them in their
back pockets! We try to choose only those that we would consider useful –
everyone’s opinions may vary in that respect so please review the picture well.
We do not retouch actual scans. This is the item you will receive. Scans are
sized however to fit the eBay template parameters - Our ADs are left
untrimmed giving you the most creative opportunity -You will receive the full
page to work with! GRADING STANDARDS Mint(M) – Perfect as an
advertisement or cover could expect to be. There are no visible flaws, dents,
dings, scratches, tears, discolorations, or impressions on the paper of the
advertisement or cover. Near Mint (NM) - Minor
signs of wear partly based on age and rarity of advertisement or cover. This
condition describes an ad that 'looks perfect', and has only the smallest and
subtlest of flaws, which could include very minor stress marks (the marks that
result from turning a page, which in this grade can only be seen at certain
angles) or very minor printing imperfections. There is no surface wear,
tearing, yellowing, staining, pencil/pen marks, or creasing on the paper. Excellent (EX) - Minor
signs of wear no fading of the ink in the artwork. This condition is nearly
perfect and allows for only slightly more subtle flaws than Near Mint. Minor
stress marks, or printing imperfections, with no surface wear, staining,
tearing, yellowing, pen/pencil marks, or creasing to the advertisement or cover.
Most people would see nothing wrong with an ad in this grade. Very Good (VG) -
This condition allows for only slightly more flaws than Excellent. There can be
light stress marks barely visible or minor printing imperfections. A corner
crease smaller than quarter-inch, or two slightly less than perfectly sharp
corners, or some yellowing at the edges (but not in the image area), possibly
one edge tear smaller than quarter-inch, very faint ink ghosting (the presence
of ink on the surface from a facing page, or from the reverse side), some light
tanning of the paper overall from age. No surface wear, creasing in the image
area, staining, or pen/pencil marks. Good (G) - This
condition allows for more flaws than Very Good, but no significant flaws. There
can be some stress marks that are visible, some light printer's ink marks, some
light ink ghosting, light creasing, a light subscription fold, some light
pencil marks, some light surface or edge wear, light surface staining in a
small area, edge tears shorter than one and one-half inch, tanning of paper
overall but not brittle. This condition can also describe an otherwise EX ad
with only one significant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or water
stain. It would still look nice in a frame. Fine (F) - This
condition allows for more flaws than G. There may be water staining with some
discoloration, but not over the majority of the advertisement. There can be pen
marks, a strong subscription crease, surface wear, foxing, soiling, ink
ghosting, improper trimming into (but not through) a printed border, tears less
than three inches, edge wear, tanning overall, surface staining, and other
flaws that one might expect from an ad that comes from a back cover or has been
improperly stored for years. It can also describe an otherwise "Good"
ad with one significant flaw such as a strong subscription crease or water
stain. Poor (P) - This
condition allows for some serious flaws, and an ad in this shape will challenge
the framer. All the flaws of the "Fine" condition and may be present
on a "Poor" ad, along with others such as pieces missing, tape
repairs, heavy staining, and soiling, ragged edges, brittle/flaking paper,
crayon marks, holes, etc. Rough shape, used mainly for advertisements of such
rarity that they would still command some value. Some additional
considerations used in Grading Vintage ADs For the purpose of the
collectability of vintage advertisement and cover art, it is important to
remember that the condition is just one contributing factor to the overall
value of a paper ephemera item. There are other factors to consider: Rarity - is how unusual
or how easily replaced the item might be. Rarity increases value directly in
proportion to the scarcity of the item. Was this item available one time and
one time only? On the other hand, was it a part of an ongoing continuing
advertising campaign that showed up repeatedly through the years? Unusual or Peculiarity –
related to the above. Is there more than one copy readily available in the
marketplace? Is this a one of a kind piece? Contribution – how does
a particular item fit into a collection? If there are ten items in a particular
collection – perhaps graded at a certain grade – may be worth more as a sum of
the collection often than as each individual by itself. Sentiment - perhaps the
most elusive quality of the piece. Seldom if ever an issue for strict
speculators, but might be a big issue with collectors. Debatable if should be
included as a ‘condition’. Marketability – Looks at
the potential buyers available for a particular item. What has this item sold
for historically, and what is the demand for this particular piece now? The
internet and online auctions have changed the way we shop for and collect
vintage advertisements and covers. In some ways, these new sales channels have
decreased the marketability of the more ‘common’ items. On the other hand, the
rarer and more collectible items now bring more buyers to the hobby or
vocation. These conditions, in turn, could translate into more sales and a more
uniform grading and archival system. Paper – paper type and
acidity, color, and age is another factor to consider. 110919cf PROV3:5&6xyz04qy62xkNYmn07
