Our Grading Standards:
Superb: Absolutely perfect in all respects. Perfectly centered, fresh original colour, an exceptional and UNIMPROVABLE stamp. The finest quality that exists.
Extremely Fine: An extremely well centered stamp, fresh as the day it was printed, and free of any detracting flaws (whether natural occurrence or not). A stamp that would rate SUPERB to almost any collector or dealer.
Very Fine: Perforate and imperforate issues, well-centered between balanced margins. Unless otherwise noted, the gum will be as issued and the cancellation, if used will be light and clear. Any defects and hidden faults will be noted in the description.
Fine: Perforations, or margins on imperforate issues, will be clear of the design on at least three sides. The gum will be as issued unless otherwise noted. If used, the cancellation will be light to medium. The description will list any defects or hidden faults.
Very Good: Perforations, or margins on imperforate issues, may cut the design on one side or more. The gum may be slightly disturbed. The description will list any defects or hidden faults.
Split Grade: We use for a stamp that is very close to VERY FINE centering (many would call it VF), but we feel that although it is much nicer than just a fine, it is not quite a VF. A very nice stamp that will satisfy most collectors.
