Record and Jacket Grading:

Sound Testing is in Description or

is Available on Request (Just Ask).

All Grading is visual and Scrupulous, definition 2: (Punctiliously exact)

 

Sealed/New or Mint

Record:

Sealed, New or Mint means assume the record is Flawless because it is Factory Sealed.

 

Jacket:

Sealed, New or Mint is not a real grading here. It is a grading with an asterisk.  Most that is New is usually Mint. If a Factory Sealed item shows damaged corners or something like that, I will grade it or mention it in the description and/or show it in the pictures, otherwise it is Mint. Mint means it looks Flawless and is Factory Sealed

M- (Mint Minus)

Record:

M- looks Like New. Upon inspection, the record does not appear to have any visible light scratches or damage of any kind. If there is noticeable dust or a fingerprint on it, I will usually say it in the description or demote the grading. A few specks of dust or a fraction of a fingerprint may not be mentioned.  Several more specks of dust, or a few smudged fingerprints bring records way down to Near Mint.

 

Jacket:

M- looks Like new. Upon inspection, the cover does not have any damage and appears to be in Flawless condition.

Near Mint (Near Mint)

Record:

Near Mint is almost Flawless. The record has little visible signs of being used. 1 or 2 exceptionally light scuffs or 1 short noticeable scratch (1 inch or less) or a 3 inch very light scratch.  Excessive fingerprints, evaporated water or cleaning solution or dust might be present. If only visually inspected, sound quality is presumed to be perfect.

 

Jacket:

Near Mint is almost Flawless. The Jacket may have a small crease or a “retail saw-cut” or a discolored spot or light record ring wear or light shelf wear or a bumped corner or a sticker of ownership or small inked name or tanning on the edge or a combination of only 2 or 3 of these minor blemishes.

VG+ (Very Good Plus)

Record:   Sound testing mentioned in description or on request (just ask).

VG+… There are some light scuffs and/or scratches or even just one single deeper scratch.  VG+ may have several scratches and or scuff marks and these are defects that may influence sound to some extent, but surely, not even noticeable to an average casual listener. If a scratch or two looks too ominous, I will mention its extent or demote the grading. The label may have discolorations or ring wear.

 

Jacket:

VG+… Jacket has no tears on the edges and seems. The spine is intact but paper might have a crack or flaked in a centimeter or two. The Jacket may have a minor crease or abrasion or discolored area or light record ring wear or light shelf wear or a sticker or some writing or an abrasion or bumped corners or ring wear or shelf ware or a combination of a few of these blemishes.

VG (Very Good)

Record:  (Sound testing mentioned or upon request)

VG… There are more scuffs or scratches but not so many or so bad as to make a needle skip or jump. Most likely has distortions in sound that include a pop, a hiss and/or a crackle, but still very enjoyable without distortions that would ever furrow the brow of party going kith and kinfolk.  The label may have discolorations or ring wear.

 

Jacket:

VG… If there are any tears on the spine or the edges and seems they are small. Spine board is intact but spine paper information might be damaged. The Jacket may be dusty or have slight water damages. The Jacket may have a noticeable crease or abrasion or discolored area or bumped corners or ring wear or shelf ware or tape or a combination of up to several of these blemishes.

G+ (Good Plus)

Record:  (Sound testing available)

Might be several deeper scratches, noticeable scuff marks, numerous lighter scratches and/or numerous lighter scuff marks. There is a very slight possibility of a needle jump or skip but most likely only scattered moments of hiss, crackle and pop that may begin to distract even a casual listener. The label might have discolorations or ring wear.

 

Jacket:

The Jacket may be torn at edges or spine might be damaged. Jacket may be dirty or have water damages or noticeable creases or abrasions or discolored areas or bumped corners or ring wear or shelf ware or taped or torn seems or a combination these types of damage.

G  (Good)

Record: (Sound testing Available)

This is really a score of 3 out of 8 and is fast approaching the level that only collectors would want to listen to in order to feel they have time traveled on the rarest of vibrations for a workable price. The Scratches and/or scuff marks are deeper and/or more numerous. Slight possibility of a needle jump or skip but most likely just very noticeable hisses, crackles and/or pops. The label may have discolorations or ring wear.

 

Jacket:

As, with most grading systems for records, Good is not so good. It is worse than the above. Here it is a 3 out of 8

F  (Fair)

Record: (Sound testing Available)

Most of the songs are probably still playable, but up to about 51% of the recording will only be good for historical and social research or fuzzy distorted time traveling. Listen at your own risk.

 

Jacket:

2 out of 8, Jacket may be simply detached at edges or seems and otherwise looks ok or is intact and just looks beat up.

P (Poor)

Record: (Sound testing Available)

Many scratches and scuff marks or might only have a chip or crack in it. With a chip or a crack, some songs might still play with minimal distortion or very clearly but watch your needle near the edge. One might want to get a separate needle for records of this grading.  Good for time traveling, making art or keeping as a rare piece of history.  Might be warped, melted, covered in soda or otherwise useless.

 

Jacket:

Poor… Terrible condition, Might be ok for holding a cheap record or a nice record with a good slip, plastic and tape.
