Description
This auction is for a copy of MILES DAVIS: Collector's Items. The Lp is graded as Ex. and the cover is in Near Mint condition. I use the Gold Mine grading scale for the most objective grading possible.
The Gold Mine Grade Scale
MINT or M
Perfect! A mint record should look like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. NOTE Anytime a person calls anything MINT you should expect a perfect, visually flawless item.
Near mint or M-This grade should be, for the most part, the most widely used grade for records that appear virtually flawless. Virtually flawless records are not perfect, no record truly will be perfect,
EX (VG++) VINYL
An excellent (or VG++) condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs which are visible but only slightly and no more than 15% of the total surface area. At this grade (Ex), the Lp will plays like NM.
VG+ VINYL
VG+ will show wear, surface scuffs, or spiral scuffs that came from turntable platters. Often the minor scuffs are caused from inner sleeves. The vinyl should still have a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. Sometimes holding the record up to a very bright light you will see many tiny lines across the surface. These flaws do not cause any surface noise during playback.
VERY GOOD or VG
A lot of people feel that a VG record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but they should STILL play very good. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear to have been well played but still have some luster. The vinyl may be faded, slightly grayish, because of surface scuffs,
NEAR MINT COVERS
The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
EX(VG++) COVER
Artwork should still be as close to perfect as can 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, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.
VG+ COVERS
The artwork should look clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
VG COVERS
VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting (but not completely separated!). There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off, giving the cover a look of snow falling
