In an ideal world, every record would be played before it is graded. But the time involved makes it impractical for most dealers, and anyway, it's rare that you get a chance to hear a record before you buy through the mail. Some Sellers play-grade everything and say so, But unless otherwise noted, records are visually graded

I try to be an accurate grader of vinyl but I have not listened to all the records I am selling Which comes from the County Auction and Estate Sales, if there are any condition problems please contact us before leaving anything other than Positive Feedback

MINT / SS: Still Sealed: appears unplayed or factory sealed

NEAR MINT: The record is virtually perfect, but there are very slight signs of marks, which are so light that it will have no effect on the quality of playback, its almost new.

EXCELLENT: The record may have slight marks, and has perhaps been played a few times, However there should be no reduction in quality of playback.

VERY GOOD PLUS:  A previous owner took good care of the vinyl. There may be very light scratches including light scuff marks that should not affect the listening experience

VERY GOOD: surface wear, some scuffs, still playable / enjoyable

GOOD : Surface scuffed, some scratches, rarity makes it worth keeping
