A SIMPLE VINYL GRADING SYSTEM :

Mint: Sealed/Unplayed/Unopened/The Holy Grail
Mint minus (M-): New and Possibly Unplayed ; a rarely used grade at Bear's Wax.
Near Mint (NM): Like-new, with very little or no visible wear; very scarce & very collectible.
Near Mint minus (NM-): Almost like-new, very slight signs of play or wear that are strictly cosmetic. Very nice.
Excellent (EX) or Very Good plus-plus (VG++): A step above VG+, very clean, no serious flaws. Seldom spun. Nice.
Very Good plus (VG+): Above average LP; a few moderate surface marks or paper scuffs; minor surface noise. Not bad.
Very Good (VG) : An average used LP, several surface marks/light scratches. Noisy but plays through, no skips. OK LP .
Very Good minus (VG-) : Reveals lots of wear & noise when viewed or spun but is not defective or warped. A bit rough.

****************************************************

LP cover grading is very subjective and is simply just one man's opinion.
A difference of opinion on a cover's "proper" or "correct" grade will not be not grounds for a refund.
We try to describe every cover's pluses & minuses as best as we can, arrive at a fair grade & show a good picture.
All major flaws will be mentioned. If you have concerns/questions please email for additional info or photos.

*************************RANDOM NOTES**************************

Your item will be packaged with tender loving care. Records are securely placed in nice new inner sleeves & new poly sleeves & then carefully packed inside thick cardboard mailers along with stiff cardboard inserts & sheets of bubble wrap to help provide a safe delivery.

All records are professionally sight-graded. Play-grading upon request. Please keep in mind that used records from the '50s & '60s are very rarely found in actual Mint condition & very seldom in actual Near Mint. Proper record grading involves skill, knowledge & honesty but in the end it is a very subjective science. Sound quality is always in the ear of the listener.

Pictures shown in a bearswaxrecords listing are always of the actual items up for bid, not left over from some other auction. More photos always available on request.

  International bidders are always welcome.  A special note to my overseas buyers: Please do not ask us to falsify your customs forms. This is a service we cannot provide. Thank you.

Please bid with confidence. Check out our hard-earned feedbacks. Buyers appreciate our careful packaging methods. Sincere thanks for looking & best of luck on all future eBay adventures. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Please feel free to e-mail with any questions concerning any listed item. Positive feedback will be left promptly for deserving eBayers.

This item is pinched from the shrinking collection of a well-respected used record store owner now semi-retired but even more inspired & certainly much blessed. Heartfelt thanks to past buyers from every State & many countries all over the World. Please stay tuned to the eBay listings of Bears Wax Records, one of America's Longest Playing Used Music Emporiums, founded way back in 1979 & now headed for cyberspace. Check us on the Web.
