I'll check at home; I have a box of damaged parts that I should be able to
photo or scan, although it may be a bit - I'm swamped right now. Examples I
should be able to provide would be broken or cracked plates, stress marks
from bending baseplates, cracked chin guard on old-style space helmets,
severe fading, cracked minifig arms (from non-careful hand removal),
"shaving" - the thinning effect from non-careful changing of minifig heads
(or any tightly fitting part)

2: The images of black minifigs are very hard to make out damage on- you
might want to consider lightening them in photoshop or using a non-black fig
for your example piece.
3: Man, are you ever picky. :)
Thanks,
James
