RECORD VINYL & COVER GRADING

Grading information:
Record Cover: I provide high quality pictures of the cover for close inspection, and describe any imperfections to the cover to the best of my ability.

Vinyl Record: I use a strict grading system in accordance with GOLDMINE'S RECORD PRICE GUIDES. My records are graded by visual standards under a 100 watt light bulb. When grading a disc, we grade the overall wear of the vinyl, not the label.

I have been collecting and selling records for over 15 years, so you can be confident that the description matches what you are getting. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the your purchase, you will receive a full refund No questions asked.

RECORD COVER GRADING:

MINT- : No indication of being handled outside of a new store. The record cover has no problems, no creases, no ring wear, no seam wear.

Near Mint: is (or virtually) as brand new. Excellent: slight rub or similar that is evident on close inspection

VG++ Same as Excellent (this grading usually used only for Vinyl grading)

VG+ (Very Good plus): Cover may have light ring wear, or a crease, a perfectly acceptable record cover if Near Mint is not essential for you.

VG )Very Good): general wear, with contour creasing, cover may have ring wear, seam wear or other imperfections.

RECORD VINYL GRADING:

MINT: We do not use this grade unless the record is still sealed. even unplayed records are graded

MINT- : A perfect or near perfect record, probably unplayed.

Excellent : A record with only one or two tiny, inconsequential scratches and/or surface marks that do not affect play.

VG++  : A record with few faint scratches and/or few faint surface marks that do not affect play.

VG+ : A record with some faint scratches and/or some faint surface marks that do not affect play, still highly collectable.

VG : A record with some scratches and/or some surface marks. Record might have minimal surface noise.

VG- : This grading is not used. We do not sell records that have severe damage and scratches or scuffs that would compromise the overall enjoyment or pleasure of your listening experience.
