CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS:
MINT
would be new in original packaging. The photo should reflect that item is in a package. If there is a grading of
MINT
without the packaging, it is an error. Please call it to my attention.
MINT NP
is a patch which appears
MINT
in every way with the absence of original packaging: No stitching marks, soiling of any kind, no loose threads and no discoloration or debris on the back of the patch was observed.
EXCELLENT PLUS
would be graded
MINT NP
with the exception of some discoloration on the back heat seal, appearing to be from age.
EXCELLENT FROM COLLECTION
would be as
MINT NP
with the exception of adhesive material or debris on the back, likely from the display process.
EXCELLENT
would have some visual light soiling from handling, may have 1 - 2 loose threads not affecting display, and may also have discoloring, adhesive or foreign debris on the back also not affecting the display.
PATCH EDGE DESCRIPTIONS:
MERROWED EDGE:
The circumference of the patch has stitching around all of the edging, so as to not allow base fabric for the patch to be visible like with the "
Cut Edge
"
CUT EDGE:
The edge of the base patch material is die cut and edge finish stitching does not cover it.  this makes the patch base material visible at the edges, usually with some stray threads showing as if to become unraveled. The finish perimeter stitching should stop any fraying from progressing.
