Record Grading:
MINT ---- Perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Still sealed albums are presumed MINT, but covers may not be. See item for description. I will not grade any opened album as "mint", since there's obviously been some handling.
NEAR MINT ---- Close, but one or two tiny flaws that do not impact play. Vinyl may have a barely visible scuff mark, but no scratches. Label is bright, clean and unmarked. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: very minor ring-wear, very minor denting to a corner---all being noted properly. I very seldom grade anything NEAR MINT.
EXCELLENT (or VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS)---- Disc plays near perfectly. There could be scuffs or a hairline scratch that does not impact play. Vinyl is bright and shiny. Cover may have some slight corner creases or minor ringwear.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played occasionally but very carefully. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost, but the record remains "shiny". Some minor scratches that do not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors. VG PLUS records should only have minor surface noise during quiet passages or between tracks. (Sometimes at this level, records "look" and "play" a little differently. I do listen to at least some of the record to give you an honest assessment). Covers are clean, but could have some writing marks (properly noted). There may be some slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear with creases or fraying in the corners. (Again, all defects duly noted).
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, perhaps in quiet passages, but it should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record appears that it will play all the way through without skipping---though it's possible it could. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork---major seam splits, significant ring wear, tears, cuts, taping (all noted). I will only sell VERY RARE "GOOD" records. You could call them, "Collection Filler Only".
FAIR ---- Only the rarest stuff. Not in great shape by any means, but RARE indeed.
I will ship your items in a cardboard mailer with polysleeve.
