All vinyl is from my personal collection and has been stored with carein a smoke free home. Condition of items vary. Most are in Near Mint (NM) toexcellent (EX) and for the ones that are not I have stuck strictly to the GoldmineGrading for vinyl (included below). I have used a lint free soft cloth toremove the majority of dust from the surface vinyl and have not applied anycleaning fluids.

All of my vinyl is sent in dedicated mailers with double or triplere-enforcement. Records are removed from their sleeves and packed between solidcard stiffeners. I take the packing of vinyl very seriously, so thepostage costs reflect the costs of the materials used so I can ensure that theyreach you in the condition they left me.

GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING THE GRADING / CONDITION OF USED RECORDS (BASEDON GOLDMINE GRADING FOR RECORDS)

MINT(M): Perfect! Thisrecord looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what soever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches,blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers orlabels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age ofthe record has nothing to do with it.

NEARMINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuffand very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noiseover the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close toperfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to thecover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable,however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EXor VG++ : minor scuffs which are onlyslightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect ascan be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear!Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slightwear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make thisgrade.

VERYGOOD PLUS or VG+ recordshows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flawswill be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise,the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, butmay have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging.The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paperwill be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minorwear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The cornerswill be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. Inessence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERYGOOD or VG: thisrecord is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look verygood, but it will STILL play very good. there will almost always be somesurface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent,overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been playedbut still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be someseam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wearoff. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy allover, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover(still, no Large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowishdue to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke).Still it should be decent.

GOOD or G A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish andpossibly abused. However a Goodrecord should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or somehiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. Itshould play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks,caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form ofdecency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noisecaused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about everything wrong withit. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotchtape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. These are big turn offs. May havemagic marker writing on the cover but still if they are in huge letters, it isa big turn off.In essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but someartwork will still be noticed. If the artwork is worn, it is POOR and the coveris worthless.

On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings areequivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 8, Excellent - 7, Very Good Plus - 6 , Very Good - 5 ,Good - 2
