RECORD GRADING FOR 45'S
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections. I have learned from over 30 years of experience that "mint" is too strong of a grading for a used 45 record evaluation. The only records that are entitled a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches. Still a very playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 45's with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped and I do not artificially gloss any of my records.
