Postcard Glossary -> Condition
Condition
Description
Refers to the physical condition of a postcard. Terms used are Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor. Each dealer and auction house uses their criteria for assigning these terms. For example, some would call a card mint if used, but
the card is in pristine condition; others would never refer to a used postcard as mint. It is best to understand the grading standards of each establishment.
