We do not retouch scans. This is
the item you will receive. Please be aware:
Colors may vary due to monitor/ computer settings Most of the old
magazine covers have a subscription crease down the middle of the magazine
because they were mailed by folding them - postal workers placed them into the
mailboxes that way. To add to that many men carried them in their back pockets!

Vintage 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.
