Our B5 Chirashi posters are almost always in Excellent or Near Mint condition.
Where this is not the case, please see the listing for further details.
Due to the fact that Chirashi are generally preserved in excellent condition,
the grading scale is more strict than that usually employed for larger posters.

Note:
If you are buying chirashi for framing then you need not worry too much about our grading,
as all of our posters have no significant defects that would be noticeable when framed.
Our grading is, for the most part, chiefly for collectors who are fanatical about condition.

Grade Description Mint Brand new, unused, flawless. *We don't grade any of our chirashi as Mint, as we only sell original and authentic theatre-used chirashi. By this very definition, they are 'used' and therefore cannot be Mint. Near Mint Our top grade. No visible flaws, but may show very minor signs of age, such as soft corners. Excellent/Near Mint Not quite "Near Mint", but close to it. Excellent No major flaws that detract from the poster, but may have some of the following: tiny or light corner crease, compression indentations from storage, possible minor tear boarder only, age discoloration. Most collectors would be happy with this grade. Very Good/Excellent No major flaws but has a number of minor imperfections. Very Good Has a visible defect such as a crease, or an accumulation of minor defects. Details of imperfections will be listed. This grade is still more than suitable for framing - but collectors that are fanatical about condition should wait for a better copy to come available. (Bear in mind that we reluctantly stock posters in this grade, and only when it is the best available.) Unacceptable Chirashi that show one or more readily visible flaws such as large creases, rips, tape marks, or hole punches. We do not sell chirashi in this grade.
