MY GRADING SYSTEM IS :

I work on the 10 point grading system (see below).

There will be a blue number representing shape besides the listing/Year in blue.   (Ex: 1967  7/8)

All gradings are visual and I only play records in special situations ......

10 : MINT (still sealed (LP's only) or unplayed (shown by zero spindle wear).  PERFECT CONDITION!!!)

9 : NEAR MINT/M- (opened LP or slight handling wear.  ALMOST PERFECT BUT NOT...)

8 : EX++ (Slight wear(ring/seam), slight paper scuffs that do not effect play and little to no spindle wear)

7 : VG++  (slight needle wear/slight scuffs/slight scratches/slight cover discoloration and or seam wear).  Small seam splits starting.  Some slight ticks that don't take away from the listening experience.

6 : VG+ (slight needle wear/mild scuffs/ mild scratches/ mild cover discoloration and or seam wear).

Plays with slightly noticeable ticks but still enjoyable!!)

5 : VG (Needle wear/scuffs/scratches/cover discoloration and or seam wear).

Plays with noticeable ticks but OK!!)

4 : G (OK LP.  Listed as a play copy until a clean one comes)

3 : FAIR (Seam splits/heavy writing on cover/scratched and scuffed ... BUT STILL PLAYS but sound like bacon sizzling)

2 : POOR -> Really trashed (Only listed if it is super super rare and can fill a void.  $500 record or more.  Could be cracked but plays.)

1 : Hurts to look at (Should be thrown away or given to Goodwill.  "Used for target practice"/Original owner should be ashamed!!).

These records will not be sold.  They will be used for landfill.

Insurance and delivery confirmation is optional, but recommended.
