| MINT or NEW
- Means just that. It may have been run but looks mint, untouched by a projector. NEAR MINT - Only the slightest
physical signs of having been run. Appears mint when projected on the screen.
LIKE NEW - May have
only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor line or splice or minor TV cue mark.
EXCELLENT - Has some
minimal wear and maybe an occasional splice. Possibly some short lap dissolves, minor cue
marks or transitional scenes where used by a TV station, but still highly acceptable
condition.
VERY GOOD - Has some
wear, cue marks and lines and usually more splices than desirable. Only an occasional
emulsion scratch if any.
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 very desirable title. |
