What to look for

Storage that shows respect for the material

Sleeves, holders, upright storage, away from direct light. Vintage sitting loose in a tray tells you everything about how it has been handled and how it was bought.

Condition described before you ask

A shop that points out the crease, the soft corner, or the off-centre cut is a shop that expects to sell to you again.

The rest is on the vintage page, along with the questions worth asking before you hand over a collection.
