GRADING  SYSTEM

NOTE:  All records are inspected and visually graded using Goldmine standards.  We grade playing surfaces and covers only.  We do not grade labels, inner sleeves, OBI strips or anything else.  They are as photographed.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)

NM records are shiny, with no visible defects to the playing surface. A disc that has been well cared for. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

EXCELLENT (EX)

EX records may have one or two minor superficial marks or scuffs on the playing surface, likely inaudible. EX covers will have only the slightest signs of use.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) 

VG+ records may show some visible signs of wear, including light scuffs or light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are possible. VG+ covers have minor wear, including seam wear, a split (less than one inch long) on the seam, or some defacing such as a cut-out marking.

VERY GOOD (VG)

VG records have more obvious flaws. They lack most of the original gloss found on NM records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible.  VG covers will have signs of handling. Ring wear is usually obvious, though not overwhelming. More creases might be present. Seam splitting will be more obvious than VG+.

Please do not purchase a VG or below record from us unless you understand what you are buying.  There seems to be a lot of confusion about this grade.  VG does not mean mint.  VG records contain obvious wear.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) & Very Good Minus (VG–)
Vinyl will have significant surface noise and groove wear. Covers will have wear and damage evident.

POOR (P)
and Fair (F)

Records are cracked, warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Covers are heavily damaged.
