Near Mint:  Only the slightest signs of having been run.  Appears Mint when projected on the screen.

Like New:  Can be older print that was well taken care of.  May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any.  Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.

Excellent+:  Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice.  No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.

Excellent:  Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair.  Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.

Very Good:  Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable.  An occasional emulsion scratch.

Good:  The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged.  Still watchable.

Fair or Poor:  Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running.  I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.
