AURORA THEATER 1941 vintage 5" x 7" handout from the Aurora theater at North Avenue Charles Street (Baltimore,MD) THE PENALTY Lionel Barrymore Edward Arnold ANDY HARDY'S PRIVATE SECRETARY Mickey Rooney GIRLS UNDER 21 Dionne Quintuplets and more MY GRADING SYSTEM I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention loose pages, stains, tears, binding damage, etc. Sometimes I find that an item falls between two grades, in which case I will list it with a two-grade scale. NEAR MINT - MINT: I rarely use these grades, except when an item is in truly exceptional condition. VERY FINE: very nice with virtually no major defects. FINE+: an even nicer copy, with minimal obvious defects. FINE: a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine stress, but no prominent defects. FINE-: better than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider Fine. VERY GOOD+: most of the items I list fall into this grade; a typical read item with obvious defects as noted. VERY GOOD: fairly well-read with an accumulation of tears and defects as noted; may be heavily creased or spine-rolled. GOOD: a complete but heavily-read item; may be missing pieces of covers, loose covers, rolled spine or other noted damage. FAIR: a rough item, with many defects including tears, missing pieces, water damage, spine wear, etc. POOR: no missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed item; almost any and every damage may be present.
