RECORD GRADING Based On Goldmine Grading Standards:
Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. There may be one or two
small inaudible defects. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45
RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as
almost invisible ring wear or other sights of slight handling. An LP jacket
should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar
defect. No cut-out holes, either.
Near Mint Minus (NM-): A record that should play mint but has a few slight
visible marks. The album will have as much luster as an NM, there just may be
some superficial scuffs from the sleeve or very light hairlines that shouldn't
be audible. An NM- album cover subjectively fits somewhere in between VG+ and
NM.
Very Good Plus (VG+): A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was
played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs
or very light scratches that don t significantly affect play. Slight warps that
do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or
discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not
have been misshapen by repeated play. 45 Picture sleeves will have some slight
wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket may have
slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or
corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more
pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially
in soft passages and during a song s intro and fade, but will not overpower the
music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches
(deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may
be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The
same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have
all of these problems at the same time, just two or three of them.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus
condition can be put onto a turntable and will play though without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove
wear. A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on
the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm
the subject.
Poor (P), Fair (F): Below good. imperfections will be described.
