GRADING

I have been collecting vinyl records for 25 years and I have always used the “Goldmine Grading System” to grade my records. I only grade a cover or record “MINT” if I feel that the cover or record are in the best possible condition and cannot be upgraded.

 

I would like to note that I don’t believe that grading standards should be relaxed for older records. Rather, record grading standards should be the same for records pressed in the 1950s and for a newly released record. It annoys me when I read some sellers describing a record as “mint for its age”. As far as I am concerned, what we classify as “mint” or near mint” or any other grade for that matter does not change based on the age of the record. Standards should not deteriorate!

 

I would also like to note that I assume that the contents of sealed records are mint since they are factory fresh, never having been tampered with. However, in reality, some records may not be mint on the first pull and thus I cannot be held responsible for sealed records that are not mint on the inside.

 

In addition, even though a record is still sealed, the exterior of the package still needs to be graded very carefully. I look for any defects on the exterior of still sealed records such as seam splits, creases that are visible through the shrink, discoloration on the cover and damaged corners. Any defects to the exterior packaging of still sealed records will be noted in my ads, including cut-out slices and punch holes.

 

PACKAGING

All records are packed to the best of my ability to prevent them from being damaged in transit. In particular, I take great care to ensure that the corners of record covers do not get dinged in transit. If I sell a record that has the cover graded near mint to mint, then that is what you should get as a buyer.
