GRADING/DETAILS

Cover: Borderline VG+ would grade VG+ if not for staining on the back.

Vinyl: Assumed Factory Mint

MY GRADING SCALE:

THE GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARD IS USED AS THE BASIS FOR MY GRADING.

Covers are graded separately and grading is always Cover/Vinyl.

Near Mint: NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects.

VG++: May have just a couple of ghost marks or an extremely light sleeve line. This will be a very clean high gloss copy. Any record in this grade can be expected to be a strong collectors keeper. Cover will have no edge wear, no ring wear, and, no splits. A VG++ cover may be slightly bumped on one or more corners but this will be minor.

VG+: Will show a few more signs of normal use and wear. May have very light superficial marks and rubs but will be a well taken care of copy. The record may play with isolated noise during intro's and in isolated lower passages of music. The noise will be very isolated and very light. It will never overpower the music.

VG: Covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious. The cover may have writing or price stickers.

VG-: A decent copy and one that can still be enjoyed but one that I do not normally offer unless it is rare or of substantial value. This would have many marks but at VG- will be a copy that can still be played and enjoyed.

G: Not offered unless it is among the rarest of the rare and then strictly as a place holder in your collection. This grade speaks for itself. Any cover or record requiring this grade will be described in full at the time. Photos and description will give details on any and all defects.

Sealed Copies: Covers are graded the same as any other cover. The vinyl is always assumed to be factory mint. Sealed records have higher selling prices because they are sealed. I will work with any buyer who receives defective or damaged vinyl but please keep in mind that once it is opened much of its value is immediately depreciated. With this being said, I put costumer service first. If you have any issues please message me and give me the opportunity to work with you. I will make sure you are happy. Just talk to me.

ABOUT ME:

I am a collector and local dealer here in New Orleans and have been selling records for over 14 years. Foremost I am a music and record lover. I grew up in the 70's and even as a child looked forward to going to the record store. My love of vinyl goes all the way back to some of my earliest and fondest memories. Like being a small boy, and listening to records with my dad, while my mom cooked breakfast. You have my word that i will grade every record I sell as though I were buying it myself. Thanks for viewing my listing and happy digging...

All grading is visual unless otherwise stated. Due to time constraints I am not able to play each record. Some records will be visually graded, some will be spot played and some will be fully play graded. Grading method will be stated in each listing immediately before the records grade. Visually graded records have a no refund policy. Sealed records are sold as collectibles. The vinyl is assumed to be factory mint
