GRADING SYSTEM

(I DO NOT ADHERE TO GOLDMINE'S SYSTEM)

ALL ALBUMS VISUALLY GRADED(AND SOUNDTESTED WHEN NECESSARY)

THESE GRADES ARE THE VINYL ONLY

*PLEASE NOTE GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE*

S-SEALED

NM- LIKE NEW VINYL-NO APPARENT SURFACE WEAR OR FLAWS. SHEEN IS HIGH WITH ZERO GROOVE WEAR. MOST LIKELY PLAYED ONCE IF AT ALL UPON OPENING.

EX+- SLIGHT(BARELY VISIBLE) SURFACE MARKS/WEAR(EXAMPLE) SOLID SHEEN WITH MINIMAL GROOVE WEAR.

EX ? SURFACE WEAR WOULD BE SLIGHTLY MORE VISIBLE. MINIMALLY PLAYED ALBUM.

EX- --- INCREASED SURFACE WEAR/MARKINGS(LIGHT) SHEEN INCONSISTENT WITH QUALITY GROOVES

VG+ ? THE MOST COMMON (HIGHER GRADE) USED RECORD. PLAYED BUT WELL TAKEN CARE OF. USUALLY ONE SIDE MIGHT BE A BIT MORE PLAYED THAN THE OTHERS. GREAT USED COPY TO POSSESS IN YOUR COLLECTION.

VG-/VG- INCREASED SURFACE WEAR/MARKINGS. GROOVE WEAR APPARENT. STILL WELL TAKEN CARE OFF. A VERY SOLID USED COPY.

G/G+- USUALLY A WELL PLAYED USED RECORD WITH SURACE WEAR. NO APPARENT MARKINGS ON VINYL THAT WOULD INHIBIT PLAY. POPPING WILL BE MORE APPRENT.

ALL COPIES BELOW A G GRADE WILL BE POSTED IF THE ALBUM IS RARER OR PART OF A LOT. LOWER END COPIES WILL PLAY BUT WILL HAVE AN INCREASED SURFACE NOISE/POPPING.

JACKET/INNER SLEEVE GRADING.

THIS IS SUBJECTIVE TO THE EYE. MOST JACKETS WILL BE A G TO VG GRADE AS WITH NEARLY ALL USED RECORDS; CORNER WEAR WILL OCCUR NATURALLY FROM STORAGE AND GLUE WILL DRY OUT DUE TO AGE OR STORAGE CONDITIONS.

INNER SLEEVES-

ALL ORIGINALS WILL BE KEPT INTACT IF A MAJOR PART OF AN ALBUM(LYRIC/PICTURE AND SO FORTH) IF IT'S A GENERIC SLEEVE-IF I CAN REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE FOR MORE PROTECTION FOR THE RECORD.
