I have a copy of Q1 - Queen of the Demonweb Pits that is in almost pristine condition. The only problem is, someone used clear contact paper to laminate the cover and the Demonweb insert map. How should I rate the condition? If it hadn't been laminated, I would rate it Fine, but because it's "laminated".... I'm at a loss. They did a really good job applying the material, there are no bubbles or creases and the edges are clean and neat. I just have no clue what to think.

Just say:
It has this unusual feature.  <Describe in detail>

Aside from this aspect, the rest of the item is <whatever applies>


Your responsibility is to give the buyer an accurate idea of what they will receive.
Sometimes an overall grade helps.  But in odd cases, probably not.

Makes sense. I didn't notice that it had been "laminated" like this until I got it home. I picked up a stack of items at a used bookstore, offered one price for the stack and sorted through it when I got home. It's a first printing and it's in almost pristine condition other than that one little "feature".

If anything, if you decide to sell that Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits module, use your original post on this thread--that seems to get the point across that this is in pristine condition, except for the parts that are laminated (and point out the condition of the lamination too).
