This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.


All records sold outside of auctioned records come with a plastic jacket protector over the record. All records will also have a clean inner sleeve, I always add one if it doesn't have one.


Grading standards are below the grading.


This record was just eye graded. I don't play grade unless it is at least a VG+.


Grading:


Vinyl: VG:  Has alot of small light scratches. I would expect some crackling over the quieter sections.


Jacket: VG: Some binding wear but all lettering still legible. Slight ring wear.


Grading: I take grading seriously and grade conservatively. If I don't feel confident in my grade, I will grade down.


Mint: Only sealed records are considered mint.


NM : Near Mint : No scratches on vinyl. There can be dust or paper scuffs but otherwise will leave you wondering if the record has ever been played.


VG++: Looks great, sounds new. Can have up to 3 scratches per side.


VG+: May have some light scratches. Usually less than 10 per side. Does not affect sound quality. Expected to have sound quality close to near mint.


VG: Has alot of scratches. Usually more than 10 on each side. May have slight affect on sound quality. The primary example is crackling that can be present on quieter sections.


G+ or G: I generally wouldnt sell these unless the record is ultra rare. These can have pops or crackling even over loud sections.


Sleeve:


M: Sealed, no storage wear.


EX: Sealed, slight storage wear such as minor ring wear or some rubbing on the edges of the jacket.


VG++: Still in shrink, no damage.


VG+: May have one small imperfection such as some fading on the binding.


Vg: May have 2 imperfections such as ring wear and a signature.


G+: has 3 imperfections such as ring wear, signature, and a tear on the binding.


G: Has 4 or more imperfections. Generally is not a great sleeve for collectors. Usually structurally intact so it can still hold or preserve the vinyl
