Grading System:

Mint (M): New or Sealed. The album is sealed in its original packaging and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): This is the highest grade I will give for records that have been played. The album is in exceptional condition and has little to no visible signs of wear or damage that will affect sound quality. 

Excellent (EX): The vinyl will almost get to NM but will have only a few light marks that should not affect sound quality. The cover will be in almost NM condition. Maybe still in it's shrink wrap or clean with no major creases or seams. I feel EX is necessary because many times records fall between VG+ and NM in my visual grade.

Very Good+ (VG+): Any visible blemishes should have minimal effect on play quality, though light surface noise may be present at very quiet portions or between tracks. This is a record that should satisfy all but the strictest of collectors. There may be slight ring or cover wear, or minor writing on the cover.  Typically, a very nice record with this grading. 

Very Good (VG): Vinyl will have scratches and/or other visual blemishes, but will play through without skipping or repeating. Light to moderate surface noise and/or crackle may be present in places, however not overly distracting. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate seam splits.  I won't sell any record below this grade unless they are incredibly rare.


I will pack your record with care and I will be sure to package the record outside of its cover to assure there are no issues during transit with seam splitting.  All records will ship in a clear record sleeve for protection from the mailer.  I'll do my best to make sure you get your record in the best condition as possible.  I use cardboard mailers and I ship quickly once I receive payment.
