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.

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

Vinyl: VG+: Super clean play. Less than 5 light scratches per side. An excellent record!

Jacket: VG+ : Shrink & Hype! Maybe some of the slightest rubbing on the corners but no true imperfections.

Vinyl Grading Standards:

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
