Hobocat Grading Standards: We grade our records conservatively, and we don't sell albums with vinyl graded below VG+. We visually grade every record under a bright light, and we listen in several spots on each side to get an idea of how it sounds. Our grading standards are based on a modified version of Goldmine.
- To be graded Near Mint NM the record must be extraordinary in some way (typically still sealed, or obviously unplayed, or drop dead gorgeous); We rarely grade records as NM.
- Records graded Excellent (EX) are nearly perfect when viewed under a bright light, with only very few, very minor surface marks allowed, and they must sound great from spotplay, with nothing getting in the way of the music.
- Very Good Plus (VG+) (for this we use the Goldmine Standards) 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.
