VIDEO QUALITY GRADING NOTES

I rate all my boxing films in terms of video quality as I'm constantly looking to upgrade fights I might already have that are in sub-par quality.

EX   : Excellent : clear & sharp picture with no flaws ; generally referred to as "MINT"

VG   : Very Good : clear & clean copy with minimal, if any, flaws

VG - : Video contains slight flaw from the following list :
                    - picture grain
                    - ghosting
                    - pixelation
                    - soft picture
                    - dark picture
                    - color bleeding
                    - tracking issues
                    - video static
                    - picture shake

G     : Good : video contains obvious flaw from list above
                  - would seek an upgrade if exists

BA   : Below Average : most likely a 2nd or 3rd Generation copy containing
           significant flaws from list above - watchable but not enjoyable

P     : Poor : Video contains deep flaws
                  - can be difficult to watch

-       :  Film is as yet unrated

I will only trade "EX"quality copies for same.

I will only trade "rare" fights for similar rare footage or multiple "EX" quality copies.

Any fight marked "looking for upgrade" I will trade 2-for-1 if you are willing to send first for verification.
