MOST IN THE NM- RANGE WITH A SMALL PERCENTAGE (MAYBE 6-7 DISCS) IN THE VG RANGE. JACKETS/ BOXES ALSO VARY FROM NM STILL IN SHRINK TO SOME HAVING EDGE WEAR, SPLITS OR REPAIRED SPLITS, RING WEAR, SPINE WEAR, TYPICAL SHELF WEAR ETC.

(SEE ALL PHOTOS FOR WHAT IS INCLUDED)

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS

MINT-It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect  (FYI- I ONLY GIVE THIS GRADE TO SEALED LPS)

NEAR MINT-Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS-The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully.  On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD-Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD-Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR-Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
