QualityWe aim to provide a professional service and each item has been selected, authenticated and carefully inspected for condition. A fair and professional judgement is made about each item being in poor, acceptable, good, very good, excellent, perfect or mint condition. If any restoration, wear or damage is present, it is accurately reported in the item description. We attempt to describe the item as accurately as possible and try to avoid misleading information by understating rather than overstating the item description.
