Grade C Manuals
Grade C: Front Cover is ok
stickers or writing with pen can occur. Most have creases or other small damage, with grade C. The above 3 are good grade C examples but bigger dog-ears are acceptable too. When the back is very nice and the damage on the front is like the above, it can be "Grade B" too.
Grade C: Yogi Bear's has been folded in the past and is a clear example of Grade C.
Mermaid has stains and The Pagemaster has a few stains and a crease and could also been graded as "Grade B" but If in doubt I usually grade it down (to be sure)
"Grade C" Manuals are guaranteed to be complete. Stickers or writing on the cover can occur. The first glance has to give you the feeling it is usable but you can easily see it has history. It can occur that it has been used in a "smokers" home. Be ware that "Grade C" manuals can have big dog-ears. If you want to avoid big dog-ears* at all cost I will advice you to go for "Grade B" or even "Grade A"
Please understand that flaws in the middle of a manual (not on the front cover/outside) can always slip trough.
Guarantees:
Cover is Complete
Looks Usable/Readable
No repairs on the cover
* Dog-ears are diagonal folds ( Dutch "Ezelsoor" ,Deutsch "Ezelsohr") and are the most common signs of books and folders being used.
