ABOUT GRADING
WHEN GRADING, IT IS CONDITION OF SLEEVE FIRST, THEN THE RECORD. I VISUALLY GRADE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT - AS WITH ANYTHING, I DO MAKE MISTAKES, BUT I TRY AND DESCRIBE AS BEST I CAN, USING PHOTO'S TO HIGHLIGHT ANY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SLEEVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME.
IF YOU AREN'T COMPLETELY SATISFIED, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO RECEIVE YOUR RECORD AS DESCRIBED!
I USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM AS A GUIDE. SIMPLY PUT:
MINT - BRAND NEW. SEALED. NEVER PLAYED. SLEEVE LOVELY AND CRISP.
NEAR MINT - SLEEVE MAY HAVE MINOR STORAGE WEAR - NOTHING MAJOR. RECORD LOOKS UN-PLAYED BUT I CANT BE SURE!
EXCELLENT - RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED, BUT VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. SLEEVE MAY HAVE SLIGHT WEAR/CREASING.
VERY GOOD - RECORD OBVIOUSLY PLAYED, BUT NO MAJOR ISSUES. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT NO MAJOR DEFECTS TO SLEEVE.
GOOD - RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED ALOT - SOUND MAY HAVE NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED. SLEEVE MAY HAVE FOLDS, SCUFFING OF EDGES, BE TORN WITH SPINE SPLITS/DISCOLORATION.
I DON'T LIST BELOW GOOD!
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THESE GRADES BEFORE YOU BID - REMEMBER SOME OF THESE RECORDS ARE OLDER THAN ME!
POSTAGE AND FEES
