Ask any questions
before bidding. All records will
be sent in a cardboard mailer, wrapped in bubble wrap. I always remove disc
from cover for shipment.
I use the following grading system for all my albums. I am a very strict grader and have
been selling records for many years. All grading is done visually.
SS
(STILL SEALED) Sealed at factory and never opened.
Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the
album is actually opened and the disc examined.
M
(MINT) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or
otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline
scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this
grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper
sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.
NM
(Near Mint) This is highest grade that I will
assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and
shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no
scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright,
clean and unmarked.
EX
(EXCELLENT) Disc plays near perfectly, but may
have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can
possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects
play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.
VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very
minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will
still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or
initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.
VG
(VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable scratches
or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There
will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have
small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There
may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.
G
(GOOD) Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with
deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise. The record will
still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or
damaged.
