Record NM Cover NM Thanks for looking. Please see my other auctions, I have many records for sale, mainly rock, blues and psych.
Combined shipping is available. $4 for the first record plus $1 each up to 4 additional records. Records are visually graded using the following scale;
Record Grade Sealed (S) - Sealed at factory and never opened. Near Mint (NM or M-) – The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. Very minor, barely visible scuffs may be permitted. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Excellent (EX or VG++) – Light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or signs of use generally. May have paper scuffs. There can possibly be a few minor scratches. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, light rubs, marks, and scratches. Some visible surface wear, scratches and scuffs. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or writing, etc.) but otherwise clean. Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED. Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that may cause surface noise. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. Good (G) - Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear that may cause surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
Cover Grade Sealed (S) - Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping, never opened. Near Mint (NM or M-) –Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. Excellent (EX or VG++) – Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear. Very Good Plus (VG+) – Cover is clean but may have writing or marks and may show slight wear. Possible small tear where price sticker was removed. There may be ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but only minor splits or tears. Corners may have creases or fraying. Very Good (VG) – Covers are worn and used. Seams may be partially split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork. Good (G) - Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
