Disclaimer: I don't grade records as Mint or Near Mint unless they are still sealed. The photos of the record are over-exposed to best show the record grooves. The reflections and flares are from the studio light and are not in the record. The dust specks really show up when the exposure is pushed. The final photo is of the record with normal exposure. Limited scratching and visible groove wear on both sides due to play. During the test, the album played on my system without skipping, and surface noise was minimal.
