RECORDS (VINYL) GRADES HIGHLIGHTED:

SS (STILL SEALED) Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

M (MINT) Perfection, no flaws,defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs,hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.

NM or M-(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratched The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections:(Slightly warped ,small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.

VG (VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but power the music. 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. slightly warped, There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

G (GOOD) Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses,pops, cracks and other nasties ). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

F (FAIR) P (POOR) Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along. W writing on label, sticker or any remaining adhesive to the label.

ALBUM COVER GRADES HIGHLIGHTED

SS (STILL SEALED) Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.

M (MINT) Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws.Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

NM or M-(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) Cover is but may have minor writing or marks and may shows light wear. There may be just the of ring wear, where the area disc has created a raised on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, some small splits. Corners may have small creases rips or fraying.

VG (VERY GOOD) Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. PAPER COVER WITH BREAK DOWN AND FLAKED EDGES.(I use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs.) There is moderate wear, 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.

G (GOOD) Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply : Seam splits, 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 until something better can be found.

F (FAIR) P (POOR) Trash, usable only to keep the record off the floor. Writing on label, sticker or any remaining adhesive to the label.

SEALED ITEMS: Please allow me to open any sealed records before they are mailed to check for warps or flaws. I will not take a return on a sealed LP unless returned sealed.

I grade very conservative so there are no surprises. However if you disagree and are not pleased I refund 100%
