B : minor defaults, as : maybe small pin holes, little rips which don’t damage the picture, weakened folds, slightly yellowed/discoloured paper

C : small lacks of paper in the corners, puckers, yellowed/discoloured paper, weakened folds, but image is good.

D : need a restoration, because it’s ripped or has important lacks of paper.
