5x Red semi-circle/Magic notes Columbia Titles

For your consideration, 5x classical stereo titles on Columbia, with  SAX cat. number. These have been lotted together as they fall just short of EX grading. The vinyl is typically very clean but there is the odd scratch which may cause clicks in a a couple of places. 
If you are looking for floorless vinyl, this lot is not for you. But if you are looking for still very playable records with only the odd imperfection then I welcome your bids.

Grading Vinyl Grading VG Sleeve Grading VG/EX Comments As mentioned, on first look the majority of the vinyl look EX/NM. On playback I realised there was the odd tick here and there as a result of hairline (and sometimes feelable marks). The majority of the vinyl will play back EX/NM but I couldn't grade higher because of the clicks here and there. 

Sleeves are all solid without major issue and strong VG to EX. Grading System From 20th Jan 2024 I Will be using the Goldmine Grading System as follows:

MINT A record that is in perfect condition and has never been played. I will only use this grading if the record is sealed. Near Mint (NM or M-) The record appears to have never been played (or has been played very few times). The record has no visible signs of wear or damage. The cover has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or any other noticeable defects. Excellent (EX)

(PLEASE NOTE: I have elected to use EX as opposed to Goldines VG+. In the interest of clarity, I will not use the VG+ grading to represent a top end VG)

A record that has been played but is still in excellent condition. Defects are of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. The cover/box may have slight signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of covers and will show obvious signs of wear and tear. Good (G) The record has obviously been played. A record that has been heavily played and may skip or repeat. There may be noticeable noise or distortion on the recording. The Sleeve has obvious marks, tears and rips. Postage ***UK POSTAGE £4.50***
