Welcome to my auction!!

THIS WEEK: 70’s ROCK LP COLLECTION…

You are looking at Stevie Wonder’s classic “Talking Book” LP. This is on the red and yellow Tamla record label.

RECORD GRADE (Visual grade/Play grade): The LP is visually graded at NM-. Beautiful and shiny vinyl with a few small barely visible superficial marks on either side that DNAP. Play grade is NM. Sounds great.

COVER GRADE: VG

The gatefold cover featuring braille for the blind shows some shelf and ring wear on the front and back. Some creasing is apparent, more on back than front (see pix). Area on front where there are a couple of rub marks/scratches as well as area where a price sticker was likely removed. Minor wear to seams and spine. No writing or splits. (See pix).

GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT (M): Sealed record. I will never grade anything as mint unless it is sealed, at which time it is presumed to be mint.

NEAR MINT (NM): Typically my top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.

EXCELLENT (EX): Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record, showing a few superficial markings on the vinyl that do not affect playability and the cover free of splits, and any major ringwear.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects. There may be superficial markings in greater abundance, potential for minor groove wear. None of the above affecting the playability to any great detriment. Cover may show signs of more significant ringwear, minor splits or seam/spine wear.

VERY GOOD (VG): Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. The scratches will be more feelable resulting in minor pops or clicks. Skipping should not occur though at this grade. The cover will show greater signs of wear, (ringwear, splits, writing).

VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered. Skips may be present as the feelable scratches will be much more prevalent. The cover will show heavy wear.

GOOD (G): Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price. I will rarely sell a record at this grade
