GRADING PHILOSOPHY
I consider "NM" (near mint) to be a record that is in like-new condition, with maybe one or two very insignificant defects. I follow the Goldmine standards for grading, even though I consider record grading a wildly subjective pursuit. It's not often I grade records that are 30+ years old "NM". Why? I don't think many records survive unscathed in perfect condition over the span of two, three, four decades. These are truly rare records, especially if the artist was well loved and the record was played over and over (like most well-loved artists are). A lot of the records I list will be VG to EX, unless the record is in truly stellar, unplayed condition.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
