I use the Record Collectors Grading System when selling my vinyl. I am VERY strict with my gradings. I will not sell records if they jump and skip. I play test EVERYTHING I sell without exception on a Project turntable. I play all the way through, beginning to end, no exceptions. You can't grade a record holding it up to a light.
