Vinyl Grading Standards
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.
NM or M- (Near Mint or Mint Minus) 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 (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
F or P (Fair or Poor) Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along.
Album Cover Grading Standards
SS (Still Sealed) Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.
M (Mint) Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.
NM or M- (Near Mint or Mint Minus) Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.
EX (Excellent) Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.
VG (Very Good) Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. (I use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs.) There is moderate ring wear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.
G (Good) Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
F or P (Fair or Poor) Trash, useable only to keep the record off the floor.

A Word About Grading And Buying Records Online:
We visually inspect and grade the condition of vinyl and album covers to the best of our ability but with that in mind ... grading is subjective and what is perceived by one individual may be different to another. Generally, we try to grade conservatively so the items are better than described when delivered to your door.
We cannot listen to every album we acquire as that would be simply impossible due to time constraints. Most of the albums we sell are 20 to 50 years old and vintage vinyl more often than not comes with some skips or pops. We cannot account for faulty audio equipment or bad phonographic needles and cartridges on the buyers end. Also, since our albums are acquired in a wide variety of ways we cannot know the chain of ownership or history of any individual product in particular.
Finally, we have found that albums that might seem initially disappointing or sub-par in the buyer's opinion can miraculously be brought back to higher standards with a vigorous cleaning. We will not clean vinyl prior to shipping due to end user preference.
We do offer a 14 day return policy so please … contact us and we will do whatever necessary to rectify any discrepancies.
