   WELCOME TO RAD-RELICS

All of the grading is done by visual inspection. I pack each record with care and attention to detail to ensure safe shipping and handling. All records are shipped outside of the jackets to prevent seam splits unless they are sealed.

        I aim to always show and explain every detail so that you are 100% satisfied with your purchase.  I want for you to be happy with your purchase so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me a message  BEFORE bidding/purchasing.

I use the Goldmine Grading Scale with a couple of extra grades. There are simply too many records that fall in between the normal goldmine scale. I do this to ensure a clear and accurate account of each album’s condition.  The Scale Is As Follows:

MINT (M) ~ Pristine condition. Looks as if it just came off the manufacturing line, also listed as New, Sealed, Unopened, unused. Overall perfect condition!

NEAR MINT (NM) ~ Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time. Possibly played a few times if ever, with little evidence of play/wear. Overall in “like new” condition. May have a few small visible flaws that do not affect play. Labels are clean but may have some very light spindle marks, or marks from handling.

Excellent Plus (EX+) ~ Record may have some surface marks excluding it from being Near Mint. The marks are superficial and the sound quality will not be affected at all.  The Jacket is just shy of Near Mint. May contain very light  ring wear, shelf wear,staining or small visible flaws, seams and spine fully intact. Overall this grade implies the record/jacket is just shy of being Near Mint (NM). Labels may have one of the following: writing, names, light/little spindle marks .

Excellent (EX) ~  These records will show faint signs of wear such as light scratches/blemishes/scuffs. However the marks are superficial for the most part should  not affect the quality of the sound too much. A Excellent record will play with little to no surface noise and will have a great listening experience. Jacket may have 2-3 of the following: light ring wear, wear on the corners/ seams, small names, stickers, notch/ corner cuts, creases, and light discoloration. Labels may have spindle marks, small writing such as initials, and small stickers.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) ~ Most collectors who want to play these records will be happy with VG+. Shows signs of wear, light scuffs or scratches may be present but they do not affect playback other than faint surface noise heard sporadically in between tracks, or the occasional soft click from a surface mark here or there. Jacket may have a 3-4 of the following: ring wear, shelf wear, seam splits (less than 1” long), writing, creases, discoloration, names, stickers, notch/corner cuts . Labels may also have a few of the following: writing/names, stickers, some spindle marks.

VERY GOOD (VG) ~ These records show more obvious signs of wear and handling. Record has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots. Clicks and pops may be heard, especially during a song’s intro/outro but will not overpower the music. Some of the scratches can be felt with a fingernail. The jacket can have more pronounced ring wear, shelf wear, stickers, marks, staining, seam splits on any or all 3 sides but they are still fairly intact, writing, cuts, and discoloration. Record Labels may have writing, names, stickers, and can have spindle marks.

GOOD PLUS (G+) ~ Significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves. Jacket may have significant ringwear and/or staining, seam splits and all 3 sides, cuts/rips/tears. shelf wear, stickers, and discoloration. Labels or jacket may have writing, names, stickers, be partially peeled off, and can have numerous spindle marks .
