In collection lots and balances the conditiondescribed is meant to indicate the overall average to be found. Examples above and below the condition listed can be expected.Typically we do not describe minor perforation separations on blocks or sheets as these are quite normal and are not grounds for theirreturn.

ESTIMATESIf an Estimated cash value is given, it is shown in the descriptions with the abbreviation “Est.” Estimates, which are in United Statesdollars, are used when a lot is large or when it is not listed in the standard catalogs. Our estimates are typically conservative and thelots invariably realize in the estimate ranges or higher.
