Vinyl Grading is based on Goldmine and International grading standards.  I understand that gradings can be interpreted in different ways by each collector, but I attempt to grade as accurately as possible, and I do think I grade on the conservative end.  I do not subscribe to the theory that “no record can be mint”, and if you know yourself to be an unusually demanding grader, please contact me before bidding to clarify any questions regarding grading.

NEAR MINT. Maybe A few very light and superficial marks, but vinyl looks almost like new.  Marks are mainly sleeve scuffs and are barely visible, are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity of the vinyl. Vinyl shines like new and original luster is intact.

VG++ Slightly lover than a Near Mint- Grading.  A few light scuffs from sleeve removal, they are visible, but are fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl. Vinyl Looks great for the most part without any MAJOR imperfections. Vinyl is glossy and has much of its original luster

 

VERY GOOD+ (VG+) . , Not near mint, but is still in clean and nice condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, but they do not take away from the overall listening experience.

 

VERY GOOD (VG) , Surface marks and abrasions are more evident, background noise will be noticeable.
