GRADING DESCRIPTIONS RECORDS - VINYL:

• Near Mint (NM) = a near new vinyl copy with only a couple (up to 4) small insignificant defects, an 8 or better on a 1-10 scale. HOWEVER "near mint" is NOT MINT! so don't expect a mint recording when I grade it as "near mint."

• Excellent (EX) = extremely nice. Would be Near Mint, except for a few light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

• Very Good ++ (VG++) = a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks, or the like which should not materially affect play

• Very Good (VG+) = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches; it probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

• Very Good (VG) = a well-used record that still "should" sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

I sell VERY FEW 45s graded less than VG, but if I do - it is because the 45 is really collectible, but buyer beware!

• Very Good Minus (VG-) = a very well worn record that plays through without skipping --- will do until a better copy comes along.

• Good (G) = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like.

• Fair (F) = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play; lots of defects.

 GRADING DESCRIPTIONS - LABELS & PICTURE SLEEVES:

• Near Mint (NM) = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale

• Excellent (EX)/Very Good +++ (VG+++) = extremely nice; would be Near Mint, except for a few light scuffs or a minutes amount of writing; will have nearly no ring wear

• Very Good ++ (VG++) = very nice labels (both sides) may have a few more light, surface marks, smudges or ring wear; may have 1/2” or so seam split; maybe a hint of ring wear

• Very Good (VG+) = nice, but used record labels that may have a series of light scuffs, marks or ring wear; likely will have writing, or abrasions, or something similar on 1 or both labels/sides of sleeve, but has no serious problems; may have 1 or 2 seam splits (up to an inch or so) or a larger seam split; will likely have mild to light ring wear

• Very Good (VG) = WILL HAVE scuffs, marks and a moderate amount of ring wear; will have writing, and/or abrasions, and/or something similar probably on both labels/sides of sleeve; ring wear will be light to moderate

• Very Good Minus (VG-) = WILL HAVE serious scuffs, marks and a moderate (or more) amount of ring wear; will have writing, and/or abrasions, and/or something similar on both labels/sides of sleeve
