Everything is in pristine condition, the sleeve is still in its original shrink wrap.

The record has been visually graded as near mint. The sleeve is graded near mint as well. I ship all of my records in professional media mailer packages, all shipments are generally done within 24 hours except on the weekends and holidays when the post office is closed. All records are shipped at a fixed price of $4, if you purchase multiple records I will combine shipping and charge $1 for each additional record. I take great pride in providing good service. I do my best to visually Grade all the records accurately and conservatively. If I have even the slightest doubt as to a records' condition I give you the benefit and lower the grading by one scale just to be safe. If you have any issues with an order please send me a message before giving me a bad review. I promise to do my best to resolve the issue and leave you satisfied. Thanks for stopping by!



I've provided a very detailed description of the record grading scale below:




This is a hybrid grading scale that I developed by melding the Goldmine scale and the Ebay condition guide together. It's not perfect but it is what I'll use for communicating the condition of your record. I hardly ever use the "Mint" or the "Poor" grades and most items will be VG+ or better.



Mint (M) … Seldom used grade, especially for used vinyl, for records that are absolutely perfect but not necessarily sealed.



Near Mint (NM)… This is the highest grade generally given. This will be a nearly perfect record that will show no obvious signs of wear or other defects. LP covers will be nearly perfect with no seam splits, cut-out holes, creases, stickers, writing, general wear or other defects. EP and 45 rpm sleeves will also be free of all but the most minor defect.



Excellent (EX)… Record will show only very minor defects and generally not more than one. This is still a very nice record that will play perfectly. Only minor flaws allowed on records or sleeves.



Very Good + (VG+) … Record will show some signs of use or handling but it has been well taken care of. Expect to see small defects like light scuffing, light scratches, minor label wear, small markings on label. Record will still play well without noise. Covers will have some wear on surface or edges, bruised corners, small seam split, small markings, small stickers but generally not a combination of defects.



Very Good (VG) … Record will have a little heavier wear with maybe a little noise between tracks and soft passages but not enough to overwhelm the music. May have heavier small scratches but record will play through. Labels may have more obtrusive markings, tape or stickers. Covers may be more heavily worn, markings, stickers, cut-out defects or a couple of more minor defects.



Good (G) … Moving to the lower end quality wise and the defects will be more prominent or there may be multiple defects. Should still be playable and covers will be a little rough.



Poor (P) … Generally this record is in the trash but it may be a hard to find piece that still has some value due to rarity. Don’t expect much.



Note:



All records are graded visually unless otherwise noted.



Generally if there is a significant defect it will be noted along with the grading code.


I may occasionally use a "+" (plus sign) following the grading code as a way to show just how close it comes to meeting the next highest grade. Again, if you have any issues with your order or if it's damaged via shipping please send me a message and I promise to happily resolve the issue to your full satisfaction. Thanks again!
