July 1954 STAG MAGAZINE Raid On Sex Alley, Murder in my town, Hitler's next Move

Description: Vintage STAG Magazine July 1943 "G+" condition. I see a fold to the top right corner of the cover and some rippling on the back cover. Otherwise, decent! Please see the pictures as part of the description. Magazine Condition grades are subjective and shade into each other I go out of my way to be careful here. I may use a +or a - which means an issue could be slightly better or slightly worse than the grade assigned. It is my hope that every customer will be pleased with their purchase and find the magazine to be nicer than expected or graded. Most vintage magazine condition, considering their age and amount of handling involved in reaching that age, are considered Good condition or better. Excellent" condition is rare in the case of vintage magazines; however, it is my intent to exceed the quality of the rating I assign to each issue. Overall, each conditioned magazine is very nice with the exception of slightly noticeable flaws which will be noted in the listing. I do place a lot of weight on the condition of the cover. Examples of condition criteria on the full magazine areas follows: EXCELLENT (EXC) : Much like new. Almost no wear or signs ofage. (Very rare) VERY GOOD (VG) : A very nice copy. Very lightly used and clean. There may be faint to mild signs of use or age. A mild central crease of the cover is possible. GOOD (G) : A nice copy. There are mild to moderate signs of use or age in this category. These issues are all intact and without serious damage. Many (most) of these early magazines have a central crease running down the cover because they must have been folded for mailing. They may have a small library stamp on the cover (this does not downgrade it from GOOD unless it is disfiguring in some way). FAIR (F) : Usable, but with moderate damage as will be defined in item listing and the pictures being used as part of the description. Perfect for the person who wishes to read or own a vintage magazine but doesnt want to pay the high price of a pristine issue. These are either more visibly used or have some more notable damage (nothing gross). Issues with detached covers are graded Fair even if cover and all content is VG. Most water marks give the magazine a grade of Fair or Poor a single drip mark may not. In general, water marks in the Fair category are confined to a blank margin. If you have interest in a single article, the cover, or whatever I can tell you the condition of that page. Very frequently, these issues are much nicer than you might guess. POOR (P) : Still usable, but with significant damage as defined in the listing. Notes for all magazines: Many vintage magazines have a faint odor. And as such, your vintage magazine may arrive with a slight odor. I never tape my magazines, but very rarely I will list a magazine with minimal tape in them. Many will have the address label still attached. ACCEPTABLE: A magazine that is still readable with no flaws interrupting any article, but with a significant amount of damage as will be described in the listing to the best of my ability. The following is a glossary of terms that may help with the grading of magazines: Browned : Some paper darkens with age or because of contact with non-archival paper or material. This is not soil. This condition can also be called Tanning, Age toning, browning, or darkening. Bumped : Mild curving or bending seen at corners, edges and spine ends when bumped with use. Chipped : Small piece of paper missing, almost always along the edge of a cover. Color chipped : Small bit of cover color missing (leaving white) looks like a chip but the paper is still present. Creased : Once folded or almost folded (bent) now straightened but a crease line shows. Curved : An arc found in a text block that has been stored crookedly. Darkened : Some paper darkens with age orbecause of contact with non-archival paper or material. This is not soil. Foxed : Speckling generally due to residual acid in the paper or ink. This is cosmetic, not structural. It isNOT soil. Rippled : Pages are not completely flat, having the waviness that comes from water damage and other sources. Rough : Almost always refers to the paper over the spine, not the quality of the binding. The paper may have missing bits or short tears or are watermarked/damaged in some way. Watermarked : This is the tone-on-tone discoloration caused by dampness, in varying degrees of noticeability. Severe Water damage: This likely affects the content and/or cover of the magazine, usually listed in poor condition. Please contact me with any questions or clarifications that would help!
