Moby Grape Self Titled Lp Rare 1967 2 Eye Columbia Record CS 9498 VG~Strong/G+

Sold Date: March 9, 2022
Start Date: January 16, 2022
Final Price: $29.99 (USD)
Seller Feedback: 810
Buyer Feedback: 0



Notes: One side has a couple big scratches that are not deep but does not look good if you are a record purist. This does not pass my strict VG+ requirements but Is a strong VG. A VG is worth half the value of a VG+ so that is where I am pricing this!


Please view all pictures and see below for grades and grading standards.


Grading is in the title in the format VINYL GRADE /JACKET GRADE. It is also in the item specifics.


Grading notes: This vinyl is a very strong VG. I would expect this to sound VG+ after a thorough cleaning.

Grading standards:



Vinyl:


M: unopened, sealed in shrink.


VG++: Looks new, sounds new. No scratches or scuffs. Might need a cleaning to remove dust before play.

VG+: May have some light scratches. Expected to have less than 8 light scratches per side. Expected to sound close to NM with possibly some crackles when starting the record over silent sections.


VG: Has alot of scratches. May have slight affect on sound quality with crackling possibly present on quieter sections.


G+ or G: I do not sell vinyl in this condition.


Sleeve:


M: Sealed, no storage wear.


EX: Sealed, slight storage wear such as minor ring wear.


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
