GRADING SCALE:

Sealed / Mint

Cover sealed shut in shrink wrap

NM

Appears unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade.

EX

May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play.

VG+

A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks.

VG

Same imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. Records graded VG and above will typically not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. We always play these completely thru & they will be described with a PLAY grade in the item description.

G

Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies of this grade. We always play these completely thru & they will be described with a PLAY grade in the item description.
