Check out my other Vinyl LP

auctions, I am selling a lot from my collection of 1000+ as I can list them.

I try to be meticulous and grade all my records based on Goldmine

standards as noted below:

Mint (M) Vinyl

Absolutely perfect in

every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be

used sparingly as a grade, if at all.  

Near Mint (NM or M-) Vinyl

A nearly perfect record.

A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will

play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give

a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever

truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM

or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign

of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits,

cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of

any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

Very Good Plus(VG+) Vinyl

A Very Good Plus record

will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous

owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature,

not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some

signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't

affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound

are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it

should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and

inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a

slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred

by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple

of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Very Good (VG) Vinyl

Many of the defects

found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will

be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro

and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to

be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that

will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or

stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves

or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.

Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the

lowest price.
