 Here is our grading scale: Our Grading Scale: All LPs are graded visually, under careful inspection by collector/dealers, with many years' experience at LP evaluation.  Some of the most sought-after (and/or more questionable) will be play-graded on a fine 2-channel system; if the LP has been play-graded, that will be stated in the listing - - but, in any case, all LPs are scrutinized carefully, and described to the best of our abilities.  We do realize, of course, that a visual estimation can be mistaken - - we plead humanity, and offer apologies, in that hopefully-rare instance where this occurs. E  (or Ex, or Exc) =  Excellent, our highest grade for a used LP; such an LP has been well cared-for by a collector, and contains no scratches expected to sound.  An LP which is play-graded by us, and listed in this condition, should contain no more than about half-a-dozen or so ticks per side, actually better than many brand-new discs play out.  Our E is the equivalent of some other dealers' NM, or NM-minus, or yet other dealers' A.
E- (or Exc-minus), signifies that the LP is till very well cared-for, but may contain one or two light scratches, which are not expected to produce much surface-noise.  This grade is roughly equivalent to some dealers' NM-minus-minus, or others' EX, and yet other dealers' A-minus. V+ (or VG+, or Very Good-Plus):  an LP which is assigned this grade still is in very positive condition, with a few more light marks than would warrant an E-minus.  A disc in this condition is expected to have a bit of extraneous surface-noise, but it should not be expected to interfere much with the enjoyment of the music for most collectors.  Our V+ is roughly equivalent to some dealers' Exc-minus, or VG+, and yet other dealers'  B+. V (or VG, or Very Good):  It is at this point which we expect the surface-noise in at least a part of the disc to interfere with enjoyment of the music for a majority of collectors.  May contain one or a few feel-able scratches.  It is possible, however (best-case scenario), that such an LP might tick loudly for, perhaps, half a minute, and yet, the rest of the side might play flawlessly.  We would generally encourage only those collectors who consider themselves pretty tolerant to pursue an LP in this condition.  V  is roughly equivalent to some other dealers' VG or VG-minus, and to others' B, or B-minus.  You will generally not see us list records below this condition, unless scarcity & demand compel us. In decreasing desirability, the remainder of our grading scale is:  V- (or Very Good-minus),  G+ (or Good-Plus),  G (or Good) (which, really, isn't so great),  G- (or good-minus),  F (or Fair), and P (or Poor).  You will not normally see records in these condition descriptions in our listings, as they all describe what we consider to be only a stop-gap copy at best - - just so the collector can say he DOES have the LP INDIVIDUAL SIDES  - -  Each side of every LP is graded individually; if only one grade is listed, this means both sides of that LP grade the same.  In a case where the sides differ in condition, 2 grades will be listed, with a slash-mark  (/)  between them (for example,  E/-, meaning, of course, one side grades straight Excellent, and the other, Excellent-minus)  (or E-/V+, would mean, of course, Excellent-minus over Very Good Plus (still a pretty desirable LP) , and so on.... LP SETS - -  In the case of a multiple-record set, again, each side of each LP is assigned its own grade, and listed as such - -  so, for example,  6E would signify a 3-disc set, in which ALL six  sides are graded Excellent    or, say, 7E/2-/V+ would then signify a five-disc set, in which seven of the sides graded Excellent, two graded at Excellent-minus, and the other one, at Very-Good-Plus.... We do not automatically down-grade an LP for paper-rubs or light scuffs - -  only for scratches.  In our experience, often-times a scuff or paper-rub, or discoloration in the vinyl might not sound at all.  A further distinction is made between feel-able scratches, and those scratches which are visible, but cannot be felt by careful, gentle probing.  Any LP graded above VG should contain ONLY non-feel-able scratches (if any at all);  if there is a feel-able scratch on an LP side, that side should be graded VG or lower. COVERS - -  We do not ordinarily grade record covers, preferring, instead, to simply list any particular defects, OR merits of a particular cover:  defects would include sticker-pulls, seam-splits, cut-out holes, browning or discoloration of the cover, etc....If, on the other hand, a cover is like-new in appearance, that, too might be mentioned, as that is also out of the ordinary.
