Record - NM, I see no signs it was ever tounched

Cover/ Sleeve - VG+ The front & rear slip sheets are taped to the cover. They are nice & clean

Please note my return policy below. I have a satisfaction guarenteed policy. All records are judged under very bright light, and with magnafing glasses. I've been a record collector all my life and I've decided to sell some of the records I bought. I do combine orders to save on shipping costs. All records are shipped in a box with bubble wrap around the whole record.

I use the goldmine grading standards:

Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way.  Certainly never been played, possibly even
still sealed.  Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-)
A nearly perfect record.  Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this
implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.  The record
should show no obvious signs of wear.  A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no
more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other
signs of slight handling.  An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam
splits or other noticeable similar defects.  No cut-out holes, either.  And of
course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves and the like.  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you
just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.  Near
Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides.  Anything that
exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth
significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Record surfaces may
show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches
that don't affect one's listening experiences.  Slight warps that do not
affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration,
but it should be barely noticeable.  The center hole will not have been
misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have
some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.  An LP
jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole,
indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a
discount.  In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would
be Near Mint.  All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good
Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG
disc.  Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages
and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music
otherwise.  Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches
(deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.  Labels
may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue)
attached.  The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.  However,
it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of
them.  

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
Good does not mean Bad!  A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put
onto a turntable and will play through without skipping.  But it will have
significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene
record, the groove will be starting to turn white).  A jacket or sleeve will
have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine.  Tape, writing,
ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 

Other Considerations
Most dealers give a separate grade to the record and it's sleeve or cover.  In
an ad, a record's grade is listed first, followed by that of the sleeve or the
jacket.
