Morphy Auctions will not be held responsible for typographical errors. All items will be available for preview prior to the auction.• GRADING •Our specialists and catalogers have put as much care as possible into describing the condition of the items to be sold and notating obvious flaws, major and minor. Although important flaws are noted, some minor flaws may be overlooked in the light of the major flaws cited. Catalog condition descriptions are subjective. We use descriptive terms instead of a number system. The terms are as follows: mint, near mint, excellent, very good, good, fair and hyphenates of those terms, i.e. good to very good. Instead of trying to define those terms exactly we rely on what we think are the generally accepted definitions of those terms. Early and rare items might be given more latitude in describing the general condition due to their scarcity. When an item is listed as excellent we mean that it has no major flaws and if it has minor flaws they are not significant enough to affect the original judgment of the condition. WHEN IMPERFECTIONS ARE NOTED, THE BUYER SHOULD BID ACCORDINGLY. ABSENTEE BIDDERS CAN CALL FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS AS TO CONDITION.
