How we grade our Victorian Trade Cards:

MINT - A perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks, or creases, and no writing.
A clean, fresh card.

NEAR MINT - Like Mint but with very light aging or very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years.
Not as sharp or crisp.

EXCELLENT - Like near mint in appearance but may have one small defect such as an almost undetectable bend, crease or slightly blunted corner tips, etc. May have glue residue or very small areas of paper loss to back.

VERY GOOD - May have one or two minor defects such as a light crease, bend, blunted or rounded corners.  May have large areas of paper loss or glue residue to back with light water damage from being soaked from an album.

GOOD - Corners may be blunt or rounded with noticeable bends or creases. May have soiling to front side that detracts from the picture.
Card may have a small tear or chipped corner.

FAIR - Card may have a missing corner or be significantly torn. Excess soil, stains, creases, writing,  Significant areas of glue residue and/or paper or image loss to back.  This could be a scarce card that is difficult to find in any condition.
