Grading:

All records are visually graded unless otherwise noted. 

Please also note that many imperceptible factors can degrade the sound of a record, including pressing defects, vinyl quality, recording techniques, dust. and mastering, among others. 

Please be aware that it is possible that an item will not play at the standard to which it was graded for the above or other reasons.

I have been buying and selling records for decades and have worked at and managed record stores in addition to professionally converting vinyl to digital formats and 

I truly do my best to grade fairly and accurately and appreciate your understanding of factors beyond my control or observational skills. 

My grading system is based on the Goldmine Standard, and is as follows:

SS (Still Sealed) – Unopened, unplayed new LPs in their original factory shrink wrap. These records are generally presumed to be mint, but that may not always be the case due to manufacturing defects, sleeve scuffing and minor warping. For these reasons we are unable to guarantee the condition of the record inside and sealed records are non-returnable if opened.

M (Mint) – A perfect and seemingly unplayed record. This is the highest grade we will give a record that is not sealed and we use it very rarely.

NM (Near Mint) – A like-new record with only the slightest evidence that it has ever been played or handled. 

EX (Excellent) – Close to like-new with only very minor indicators of use that will not affect playback. EX records should satisfy all but the most critically demanding audiophile.Covers will be very sharp with only slight imperfections and records clean with little  sign of use.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) – Used but taken-care-of records that will exhibit only minor defects. VG+ records may show signs of wear including, but not limited to scuffing, minor scratches, slight warps, spindle marks, light ring wear, cutouts or other markings, and minor seam wear on covers and labels. VG+ records are solid copies for all but the most discerning listeners.

VG (Very Good) – Average, well-used records that still sound good enough for the majority of listeners to be able to enjoy, despite some surface noise from scratches, scuffs, and groove wear. They may lack the gloss of cleaner, factory-fresh records and exhibit scratches and visible groove wear. Covers will show conisderable signs of handling or storage, and may have writing, tears, seam splits and other wear. 

G (Good) -- These records are not trashed, but will play back with considerable noise due to serious wear and scratches. They should not skip, but this may depend on your turntable setup. Covers in this condition Gmay show heavy wear but are not trashed. Tape, fully split seams, heavy writing and tears are common. 

F/P (Fair / Poor) -- These are basically "play-at-your-own-risk" which are in very rough condition all around and have been neglected or abused.

I may amend a grade with a plus (+) or minus (-) indicating that the record is slightly better or worse than one of the standard grades but I do not use multiple plus or minus signs.

For example, a record that is somewhere between the two grades could be EX+ or NM- depending on which grade more accurately represents the perceived condition.
