Overall Album Grade: Excellent (one small mark on the record but other than that the record has its natural shine and I cannot see any scratches)


My shipping method: I use usps media Mail and remove all records from cover sleeves and place on top of the cover inside of a clear sealable sleeve..from there I tape the contents of the sleeve in place between 2 card board stiffeners placing bubble wrap in the box as well to then be shipped off to you!


Condition Guide:

NEAR mint - No marks, scuffs or scratches on the record. The cover should be in like new condition with little or no wear. Records over 20 years old in this condition are rare and therefore demand a premium price when they are truly in NM condition.


EXCELLENT-Almost like new condition Vinyl, maybe a mark or two on the record, but it should still sound like new. Vinyl looks shiny and clean. Dynamics, Clarity and Fidelity should all be excellent on the vinyl. The cover may have some wear to corners or light ring wear, but certainly no major marks or damage on the cover. Most collector examples.


VERY GOOD ++ A Beautiful Album, Some wear on the record. Some marks, scuffs or light surface scratches, certainly no skips or constant ticks when playing. Fidelity and Dynamics should be excellent. The cover can have some light wear, ring wear or bruised corners.


VERY GOOD + Has some marks, scuffs and light scratches on the vinyl. Will play through without any skipping or major constant "ticks". Well cared for records, but evidence of playing them many times are there. Fidelity and Dynamics are still good, but maybe some light background noise between songs. Cover has ring wear and bruised corners, but overall front and back are in good shape. Some shine to the vinyl still.


VERY GOOD Well worn record, has scratches, "ticks" and surface noise. Maybe a skip or two, nothing major, but would not be a collector example. Deeper scratches and noticable shine gone from the vinyl. Will play with fidelity, but background noise will be present.


GOOD Lots of wear to the record, skips and scratches are certain. Deeper scuffs are present. A record that has seen better days! Record still plays, but gone is the fidelity and dynamics that make vinyl magical. Cover has ring wear, seam splits, and writing sometimes. Not a cover you would want to frame. Only to be bought to sustain a need until a better example is found.


I describe and ship as they are. Real condition!!!!

I never use Stock Photos. What you see is the actual item being sold.

By the way, as far as I am concerned, there is NO such thing as Mint Record.

If it is man made, best it will be is NM. This is how I grade/rate my LPs.

Most or some of the LPs that I am selling are from my personal collections from the past.

 Please read my Feedbacks. This is my Hobby.
