Note :
Most of our grading are results of an accurate visual appraisal under bright light.
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly
even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations").
Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
A nearly perfect record. 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 almost
invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other
noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course,
the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves and the like.
Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides.
Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and
seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book
value.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value.
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.
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. The center hole will not have been misshapen by
repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly
turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight
signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or
corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near
Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus
record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG)
Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. 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, only two or three of them.
Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as
the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide
when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a
dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not
mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a
turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have
significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a
styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on
the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to
overwhelm the object.
It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape
eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for
years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record is
cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or
repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three
seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps
the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and
written upon.
Still Sealed (SS)
We ship Monday-Friday ( business days ) only. Please bid and pay accordingly.
