My standards with regards to condition of material are rigorous:

MINT STAMPS: All stamps are in fine unmounted mint fault free condition with full perforations unless specifically stated otherwise. For unmounted mint items generic images may be used. Any apparent defect/blemish apparent on the images unless described can be assumed to be artefact. 

USED STAMPS: All used stamps will be fault free (no creases,thins etc) unless described otherwise. All used items for sale will be illustrated with actual item for sale. There are no generic images for used items.

BOOKLETS

STITCHED BOOKLETS: as complete booklets with all panes and interleaves are assumed to be with "perforations as they come" i.e one or more panes with varying degrees of trimming of perforations. Booklets with full perforatiions on all panes will be specifically described and will command a substantial premium.

FOLDED BOOKLETS: (Machine vended, Counter booklets, "Window" booklets, Greetings booklets) will have full perforations on all perforated edges unless stated otherwise. Note: some booklet panes were produced with intentionally imperforate edges. 

BOOKLET PANES:  All individual booklet panes with perforated edges will be illustrated with the actual item being offered i.e there are no generic images of fully perforated booklet panes even if the panes are unmounted mint.
