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.
I COMBINE SHIPPING!!

AS SOON AS PAYMENT IS MADE, WE SHIP!!! NO DELAYS!! We know you want it fast and we deliver!!
Handling charges are included in the shipping cost above.
I use only custom LP mailers!!! I ship all LP's outside of the cover (unless it is sealed) to eliminate seam splits!!
I can not be blamed if you do not want a tracking number and your package is delayed.
I will ship once payment is made but must rely on the Post Office to handle the logistics of shipping.
Insurance and delivery confirmation is optional, but recommended.
Good Luck And Thank You For Looking!!
