TERMINOLOGY USED;
1.) Near perfect = Appears as if being bought new from a store's postcard rack. Beautiful.
2.) Shows the most extremely mild wear = Appears to have "MAYBE" just been lightly handled but kept in proper storage, appears crisp, no bent corners, everything straight.
3.) Shows extremely mild wear = very minimal wear to corners - very hard to see any edge wear - no further flaws
4.) Shows very mild wear = very mild corner/edge rubs w/ "MAYBE" (or maybe not) just a slight or hard to notice crease.
5.) Shows mild wear = Has been handled and noticeably passed through hands ("MAY" or may not show surface marks), has no major damage but MAY (or may not) have mild creases - bumped corners -or just slightly more than normal edge wear.
6.) Shows some wear = "MAY" (or may not) have heavy creases, small edge rips, bumped corners, soft corners, surface abrasions, surface wear, surface cracks.
7.) Shows heavy wear and/or damage = "MAY" (or may not) show missing pieces, worn through, long rips, moisture through back to front stains, tape marks or holding card together and all other apparent damage.
--- Lots of times I will state the condition as, (Example) " Shows very mild wear and creasing to left or right side " ---This is to say..." this card is very nice except...it has this flaw ".
As you can tell, I am no expert and cannot grade a postcard for you, so this is just a key to understand how I think of the condition of the postcards I sell. As with all items I list, please use the magnification tool to see the high resolution photos included in each listing and confirm for yourself before purchasing.
** PLEASE BE AWARE **
The Postcards I sell are sent using standard first class mail envelopes, and are normally sent with a standard first class stamp unless I need to add an additional ounce stamp when there is multiple Postcards purchased in one order. All Postcards will include a backing sheet made from a card stock similar to the Postcard itself. All Postcards are sent inserted in Postcard Soft Sleeves. This method of packaging is used simply to keep your shipping fees low. Yes, Postcards can be shipped a lot more securely, but at a higher shipping fee. Most of the Postcards I sell have been set at a lower price point in order to sell them at a faster pace because I own so many that I do not want to wait "3" years for a buyer after I list it! I feel if I raise the price of shipping, to most, but understandably not to all would detract from the sale itself. SO PLEASE, PURCHASE ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND AGREEABLE TO THIS METHOD OF SHIPPING. OF COURSE IF DAMAGE OCCURS DURING SHIPPING, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REFUNDED ( Damage during shipping is rare, but can occur from time to time ). Higher priced Postcards will be packaged commensurate to price point paid ( Example: Soft Sleeve w/ Side Loader, Stiffening Sheets within a Bubble Mailer ).
I do not use any photo enhancement tools. Photo's are high definition from scanner or I-Phone only.
COMBINED SHIPPING ON POSTCARDS IS OFFERED. 1st POSTCARD PURCHASED IS .00, EVERY POSTCARD PURCHASED AFTER THE INITIAL IS .25 EACH. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CART HAS THE ORDER COMBINED OR THIS FEATURE MAY NOT WORK OR IT MAY CHARGE YOU THE INITIAL FEE OF .00 FOR EACH POSTCARD.
ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE RESOLVED THROUGH GOOD COMMINICATION AND A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER!
