BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, Id like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine. I dont use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
