Very Good (VG): The “average wear” grade. Spines show stress and may be slightly frayed or have minor tears. Module covers can have “splits” as long as 2” (5cm). Corners are often rounded, creased, or frayed, and edges may show similar wear. Other common flaws are “color fading”, small stains, small tears, and writing on interior pages (perhaps even some highlighting). A slight warping and/or faint “musty odor” (usually from storage in a basement) may also be allowed. Tape may have been used to “repair” the item, but it should be (at most) one or two small pieces. A Very Good item can simply be an accumulation of several minor and moderate flaws or it may have very few minor flaws and one major detractor (such as a fold that goes the entire length of the cover, heavy rust on the staples, a page separated that was not designed to be “detachable”, a large spine split, or writing on the outer cover.
