Sleeve / record grading

Note: All grading is done by eye (jacket first), with more than 30 years of experience. I have tried to be VERY strict to avoid nasty surprises. (Standard jewel cases NOT graded.) Your money back, if my grading is false! I hate deceitfully upgrading sellers, too!
Ringwear, adhesive tape, price tags or their remains, pen markings et al are separately noted.

Sealed = Not opened. The shrink wrap or other seal may be slightly torn but clearly the record has never been taken out of its cover.

M (Mint) = Perfect, looks like never been played - but of course You can never be absolutely sure.

M- = Near mint, has been to a Good Owner, who played it very carefully and probably not many times.

EX+ (Excellent +) = Has been to a Good Owner or two, who played it carefully and handled it as well as You or I but there are minor signs of use.
May have remains of price tag glue.

EX = A record that is clearly a used one but should satisfy most collectors. Possibly light scratches. Sleeve corners or edges may be slightly worn, but no seams are split. May have remains of price tag glue; all these are explained.

I don't sell records in condition worse than EX, unless they belong to an interesting collection.
If a compact disc looks suspicious, I'll play it and if does not cooperate, I won't even try to sell it!
I have used this grading successfully in Finland and I apologize, if it differs substantially from gradings You are more familiar with.

P&P applies to Economy Mail for all destinations; if You want to "upgrade" it to Priority, please contact me!

For registration (the only possible way to get a receipt from Finnish Post) and/or multiple
winning bids, I shall contact You - if not, please contact me = )) 
 
Thanks and good luck!
