01. What is the condition of the product that I am viewing?
All posters sold on by MovieGoods are rated using the following grading system:
Mint or Brand New: Never hung in a theater. Looks brand new. In most cases with newer releases it is straight from the printer, through us to you. If it is a vintage product, it will have had lots of TLC over the years.
Near Mint: May have hung in a theater. If the item is rolled, it may have tiny holes in the corner borders and very slight edge wear. If it is folded, it could also have slight creases on the fold lines.
Very Good: May have hung in a theater. If the item is rolled ii may have more than one hole in each border corner. It may have minor edge wear and slight creasing. If the item is folded, it could also have slight separation along a fold line(s) and slightly more creasing. None of these issues would be obvious if the poster was framed.
Good: More than likely hung in a theater. There will be edge wear and it should have small tears or holes on the border that will not affect the artwork. Each tear should measure no more than one inch. Tiny pieces of border may be torn or missing. The item could have minor fading or condensation wrinkles. There could be some tape marks. If the item is folded, it could have separations in some places along the fold lines. Some of the condition issues may be visible if framed with no touch ups.
Fair: Will have hung in a theater. This item will potentially share all the same characteristics as an item in good condition. There could be larger tears and holes. There may also some bleed through, stains or other defects that could affect the poster's artwork. With restoration these items can be restored to their original shape before framing.
Poor: Definitely hung in a theater. In most cases the item has seen better days. The item could have larger tears or pieces of the poster missing. There could be serious fading. We seldom sell items in poor condition unless they are very rare. They would require some meaningful restoration.

 
 
02. Is this poster a reproduction or an original?
A large number of our listing are originals. Unless a poster is specifically indicated as an original item, it is a commercial reproduction of an original. Descriptions for common original items include 1-Sheet Posters, Half-Sheets, Lobby Cards, Inserts, Window Cards, and 3-Sheet Posters.

03. Is the picture in the auction exactly what I will get?
MovieGoods uses state-of-the-art wide format scanning systems in order to assure the accuracy of every item we show. The image that you see on your screen will vary slightly in color depending on the type of monitor and settings used for viewing. All folded products have been unfolded and scanned from their stored state.

With this in mind, some images will appear to show some glare/haze lines where vertical or horizontal fold lines exist (this occurs when the folded part of the poster passes over the camera during the scanning process. Since the poster is NOT FLAT at this point, the camera is unable to take a fluid scan and hence, hazing occurs). These are NOT flaws in the posters. Other slight color shading might occur due to improper calibration and there may appear to be slight streaks in the image due to small specks of dust or dirt on the glass plate used for scanning. If you have questions regarding the accuracy of the image you see on the screen, please contact customer service for verification.
 
 
04. How are your products packaged for shipping?
All of our items are carefully packaged in order to guard against damage. Unfolded posters are shipped in heavy-duty reinforced cardboard containers or FedEx tubes. Items such as folded posters, stills, press kits and lobby cards are packaged in heavy-duty cardboard reinforced envelopes. All of our products are packaged in a way that ensures they arrive to you undamaged and in the described condition.
