The posters on our site will likely have been used for promotional purposes when the movie was released or re-released. Having said that we strive to buy a quality of poster we would be happy to hang on our own wall or shop. No single standard exists for grading of cinema posters and different dealers and auctions houses may use different grading systems.
For this reason, we thought it would be useful to do a comparison between our grading system and scores between 1 and 10 and alpha scores.
| Mint | A+ | 10 |
| Near Mint | A | 9 |

| Fair | C | 4 |
