Running a lot of house clearing auctions this weekend! Go to my Ebay store to see the auctions all on the front listings page!

All of these have been cleaned. Many of these have been ultrasonically cleaned although I didn’t always note it when I first started cleaning them that way.

All of these have clean new inner sleeves. If the original is still in the jacket, I slide the new inner sleeve next to it.

Grading: These records grade G+ or better.

I put the grades on sticky notes that can be seen in the photos! I often put which pressing the record is or try to note if the record is in its original shrink!

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.

EX: looks great, sounds new. Can have up to 3 scratches per side. This includes hairline which you only see under bright light.

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
