Grading
To grade my items, I use the guidelines as provided by the The Acaeum website.  Please do an online search
the acaeum grading conventions
for more information.  Below are copy and pastes some of their grading categories.
Very Fine (VF)
A few light creases may be present at an edge/corner or on the inner surface of the cover (such as when a thumb presses down on a module cover and creates semi-circular stress lines).
There should be no folds or hard creases.
Corners can have other wear such as slight rounding or abrasion.
On modules or staple-bound items, the edge of the spine may have some slight abrasions to the outer surface layer, though the spine itself it still strong and intact (this is a sometimes common occurrence from the cover being opened repeatedly).
For perfect-bound accessories, light vertical stress lines are more prominent (though not extensive).
Staples may have the slightest hint of rust, but should still be at least 90% rust free with no rust stains on the pages.
Maps / inserts may be detached -- there can be a few marks written on the these, but they should still be minor and not extensive (no highlighting or marker).
Again, judgment must be used as each item is unique.
Perhaps two corners may have tiny 1/16" creases at the extreme tips or there could be one very light ½" crease.
Near Mint (NM)
There may be a few light stress lines on the spine, but otherwise the spine is strong and intact.
Corners are sharp, but can have a little bit of bumping or other very minor wear.
In general, no creases should be present, though a slight bend that does not create a noticeable stress crease may be allowed.
The edges may have a few very tiny bumps or nicks.
A few light stress lines are acceptable on the surface, but they should NOT break the color.
Surface colors should be bright with at most a few color flecks or some very minimal color fading (as usually occurs along the spine).
Any spots of discoloration or staining would be extremely minor (no more than a few pencil-tip sized dots).
In addition, the inside booklet should be complete with no marks, no rust on the staples and all inserts/maps still attached.
At most, a few very light marks may be allowed, such as a pencil note next to a creatures stats or (possibly) and small price written in pencil on the inside flyleaf (as from a used book store).
Even though, the above flaws are acceptable in Near Mint condition, an item should not contain any more than a few such defects. An accumulation of several of the above will likely drop the item down another grade.
Mint (M)
A Mint item is perfect, the corners are sharp, edges keen and the spine/binding tight.  It looks not only straight off the press, but is completely free of flaws.  Mint items are extremely rare.
