VHS Box Standards and Subgrades
VHS are graded on four key categories: Corners, Edges, Flaps, and Gloss.
Beckett Grading is the first to use this unique system which assures accuracy in grading.
EDGES
The edges of a VHS box are another factor that is considered in grading. The edges should be crisp and free of any fraying, chipping, and dings. VHS tapes with rough or damaged edges will receive a lower grade.
CORNERS
The corners of a VHS box are one of the most critical factors in determining the tape's grade. The VHS should be free of dings, creases, bends, or discoloration. Tapes with these flaws will receive a lower grade.
GLOSS
The surface gloss of the VHS refers to all sides of the VHS box. The surface gloss should be free of stains, smudges, and scratches. Any surface damage, including manufacturer print defects or ink smears, will result in a lower grade.
