Grading


Records are generally graded on visual inspection and have been stored in a smoke-free, climate control environment.


Vinyl:


Mint: A brand new, SEALED record; never played.


NM or M-: Near Mint. The vinyl looks as good as if YOU had just broken the seal on the record. This is the best grade I will give any unsealed record.


NM-: This record is NM but has some very, very minor signs that it has been played, such as slight spindle marks and a one or two very superficial marks. Should play without surface noise. 


VG++: Excellent. Has several light cosmetic flaws, blemishes, or scuffs that may begin affect the sound minimally. You should only hear only a few soft ticks, if any.


VG+: More pronounced cosmetic surface marks & light scratches that will result in more surface noise or short soft ticks should not overwhelm the sound.


VG: Moderate noise throughout. Cosmetically, appear to have more scratches, more pronounced than you would find in my VG+ records. These are still fine for general listening.


G: Noisy, but plays through. I will only sell very rare or unusual items in this condition.


Covers:


M: sealed and pristine.


NM: Unsealed, may have the original shrink wrap, and no marks or wear.


NM-: Minor signs of wear, including small (1-3 cm) hairline creases, slight edge wear and tiny corner dings.


VG++: Larger creases, barely noticeable ring outline (not worn), and modest wear and corner dings.


VG+: Deeper creases and corner wear, more pronounced ring marks (wearing becomes noticeable), small (1-3 cm) seam splits, slight writing, or sticker residue.


VG: Larger writing on the cover, ring wear, creases, seam splits, clear tape on the cover, and other marks that are significant and detract from, but do not yet overwhelm the cover.


Good: The cover is significantly worn.
