I try to avoid records that are simply not an enjoyment to own due to condition or inability to play well.  All records are graded using my simple categorization:

Near Mint  (M-) nothing is rated mint
Excellent    (E+) possibly a flea bite or hair scratch or smudge, super shiny
                 (E)  scuff or light scratch or two, still super shiny
                 (E)- slight scuffing or very slight scratches, still shiny
Good         (G+) light scuffs, scrapes or hair crack, shiny still very playable
                 (G)   scuffs, scrapes, light cracking, some shine, still playable
                 (G-)  scuffs, scrapes, cracking, playable, not necessarily enjoyable
Poor          (P-)   wall art due to playing condition

These are fragile artifacts from the last century.  Records are sandwiched securely between several pieces of corrugated cardboard of appropriate size, wrapped in bubble-wrap and securely boxed for shipping. I have shipped hundreds of records around the world using this method with no damaged records.

I pack all items carefully for a secure mail delivery.  I will gladly combine shipping when possible.  Photos are of actual item for sale and are part of the description of that item.
