GRADING SCALE: 


(Records are graded from sight)


SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold ?as-is.?


NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I?d use this rating extremely infrequently


EX - Basically either spotless visually or sounds extremely clean. 


VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean


VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and plays well


VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt. 


VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability. 


VG-- - Plethora of scratches scattered throughout. Literally scratches/hairlines everywhere.


G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt. 


*I usually will give either a quick listen to the record or possibly the whole thing to give a better description of the record you are receiving. I will mention in the description if I have listened to the record or listened to the whole thing. So if I didn?t mention I listened to it in the description, assume I didn?t. 


**I dont grade records considering the spindle marks. I might not even mention it but if it catches my eye I will mention so. If that is an issue for you, ask ahead of time.
