Probably the worst Nillson collection you can get but it’s still Nillson! He isn’t very easy to find!

I took the time cleaning and adding new inner sleeves for all of these records. They are all in G+ condition.

All of these come with jacket covers as usual. You will need them because of the mold on some of the record jackets.

These belong in a garage meant to be played when working on a car. These are meant for playing. If playing regularly in the house, I recommend storing the jackets separately outside the house or upgrading jacket covers with the jacket covers that have a ziplock.

Almost all of my records are cleaned when grading. This is why my auctioned records have excellent reviews. The records come out of the box ready to play. They almost always get a new inner sleeve after cleaning as well. This will go next to the original inner sleeve if there is one.

Grading: These records grade G+. I put the grades on sticky notes. In some cases, I even put which pressing the record was!

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
