fair condition
Neither pristine nor ruined
Fair condition describes something usable but showing significant wear—neither good nor poor.
The term appears in grading systems for collectibles, used goods, and medical assessments: The book is in fair condition with a worn spine and some foxing.
Fair condition typically means functional but cosmetically imperfect, with visible flaws that don't prevent normal use.
