New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade art and collectables are listed across the full range for the category, $4 to $1,078 (about £3 to £800), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Unhung and unframed, or still in the publisher’s wrap with the certificate. On a print that means unfaded and never exposed on a wall.
Where the line falls
Art and collectables are hurt by light, damp and handling: paper foxes and yellows, frames knock at the corners, and a repair or a trim can cost more value than the damage it fixed.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Art and Collectables.
