Our Grading

Sealed (S):  A record that is still factory sealed.  This record is presumably in Mint condition.  However, as many collectors know, this is not always the case as new vinyl can have imperfections.

Mint (M):  An unplayed album.  We no longer use this grade.  A Mint Jacket will not have any obvious wear. 

Near Mint (NM):  This record shows no obvious signs of wear.  A record that looks like new.  The jacket may show only light wear with minor scuffing and/or edge-wear.  The jacket will not have seam splits, folds, or cut-out holes.

Near Mint Minus (NM-): This record won't be perfect and may show very minimal signs of use.  This is a record that may have been played but was handled with extreme care.  The jacket may have light scuffing and/or edge-wear, minimal creasing, promotional cut-outs or cut corners.

Very Good Plus (VG+): This record will show light use and may have some mild scuffing and/or fine surfaces scratches that may create light surface noise.  Light surface noise may be noticeable during quiet passages and in between tracks.  This is a record that was obviously played and shows light to moderate wear.  The jacket may have light to moderate scuffing, edge-wear, slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, promotional cut-outs or cut corners.  

Very Good (VG): This record will show more signs of wear.  Surface scuffing and light scratches will be much more visible.   Surface noise will be more noticeable.  Record labels may have writing, or stickers attached.  The jacket will have scuffing and edge-wear and may have seam splits, ring wear, turned-up corners, and cut-out holes.  Jackets may also have a previous owner's name or other writing.

Good (G): This record will have even more wear with significant surface noise, scratches, and possible groove wear.  However, with all of these defects described, the record should play without skipping.  The jacket may have seam splits, ring wear, turned-up corners, and cut-out holes.  Jackets may also have a previous owner's name or other writing.

Please note: We do not use Goldmine's Record Grading System.  However, records are graded conservatively towards the buyer.  LPs may not have original inner sleeves - please email if this is a concern.
