PPG band reference

How Postcardpolis Grade compares to other postcard grading systems. For reference only — each system uses different criteria.

PPG (0-100) Band Mashburn European État
100 Pristine Mint (M) Neuf / Druckfrisch / Pristine
90-99 Excellent Near Mint (NM) Superbe / Hervorragend / Superb
75-89 Very Good Excellent (EX) TBE / Sehr gut erhalten / Very good condition
55-74 Good Very Good (VG) BE / Gut erhalten / Good condition
35-54 Fair Good (G) Correct / Befriedigend / Acceptable
20-34 Worn Fair (F) Correct / Befriedigend / Acceptable
5-19 Poor Fair (F) Mauvais / Mangelhaft / Poor condition
0-4 Damaged Fair (F) Mauvais / Mangelhaft / Poor condition

Note: Mashburn caps Mint and Near Mint to Excellent for postally used cards. European État does not cap for postal use. Both systems mark altered cards (TR/RC/RS/CL) with an "(altered)" suffix and cap Mashburn at Very Good.
