SOME OF THE SLEEVES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS (SEE PICS)

SOME HAVE BENDS, CREASES OR MARKS FROM TIME AND HANDLING - MOST OF THESE LOOK VERY NICE AND ARE STILL IN THE SHRINK WRAP (SEE PICS FOR DESCRIPTION)

I WILL NOT LIST RECORDS THAT HAVE SKIPS ON MY PLAYER, WITH THAT I CANT PROMISE YOU THAT YOUR PLAYER WONT HAVE SKIPS. BE ADVISED, THERE ARE NO RETURNS ON THESE LOTS. 

GOLDMINE RECORD GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

Very Good (VG)

VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
