Wow!!! This is an incredible collection. The quality is really rare to find. Many of the EX records could even grade NM. If you look at my store, you will find my grading is very conservative and EX records are rare! This collection is LOADED with EX records as shown on the sticky notes.

I even threw in my favorite 45 box. It has a little chip on the handle but it is ALL metal! Latches are STRONG. Probably from the 60s when they built things right! I will also be throwing in 3 extra 45s that aren’t photographed and some hard rock jackets that didn’t have vinyl!

These records are all super clean and come ready to PLAY! I hardly ever sell 45s and this is my first 45 auction. You can expect that when I auction 45s, it will be fire!

Follow my store for great vinyl finds and awesome vinyl auctions!!

Grading: These records grade VG+ or better.

I put the grades on sticky notes that can be seen in the photos!

The format is RECORD GRADE/JACKET GRADE.

Grading Standards:

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. Less than 8 per side. Does not affect sound quality. Expected to have sound quality close to near mint.

VG-Strong: A few more scratches than I like on a

VG+ which should sound closer to NM. This category is my favorite for playing because you can enjoy good sound quality without having to worry about adding more scratches to the record.

VG: Has alot of scratches. More than 8 on each side. May have slight affect on sound quality. The primary example is crackling that can be present on quieter sections. Some of my early grading may say VG-Heavy scratching. That would now grade G+.

G+: Scratches across every inch of the record. These can often play but skips are a possibility.

G: I generally wouldnt sell these unless the record is ultra rare. These can have pops or crackling even over loud sections. These can have chips off the edge of the vinyl and other atrocities.

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
