THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS, TAPE, WRITING, RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION. A BEAUTIFUL ALBUM THAT WILL DISPLAY WELL ANYWHERE AND THE CORNERS ARE SQUARE. THE GLOSSY, SHINY RECORD IS ALSO LIKE NEAR NEW. THE LABELS HAVE NO NEEDLE MARKS AND WHEN INSPECTED UNDER THE LIGHT, THERE WERE NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS, JUST A VERY FEW LIGHT SURFACE OR LINE MARKS. THE RECORD SOUNDS AS IF RARELY PLAYED, NO SKIPS, STICKS, POPS OR HISSES. AS RARE AS IT IS, IT IS CERTAINLY WORTHY OF INVESTMENT GRADE STATUS AND BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING GUIDELIES, THE ALBUM IS GRADED NM AND THE RECORD NM-. THERE IS NO RESERVE.

GRADING!

GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I AM CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO. MOST OF THE ALBUMS OFFERED FOR BID COME FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION WHILE OTHERS COME FROM OTHER COLLECTIONS AND ESTATES. NONE COME FROM GARAGE SALES OR SWAP MEETS.

MINT: (M);  ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS STILL IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

NEAR MINT: (NM);  A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD AND ALBUM COVER. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR. THE ALBUM COVER SHOULD HAVE NO CREASES, FOLDS, SEAM SPLITS, WRITING, TAPE OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS, INCLUDING CUT-OUT HOLES. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION SHOULD LOOK AS IF IT WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.

VERY GOOD+: (VG+);  A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SOME SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCE. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABELS MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT THEY SHOULD BARELY BE NOTICEABLE. THE CENTER HOLE WILL NOT BE MISSHAPEN BY REPEATED PLAY. THE ALBUM COVER MAY HAVE SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY BE MARRED BY A CUT-OUT HOLE, INDENTATION OR CORNER INDICATING IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF PRINT. A VERY GOOD PLUS RECORD IS HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE AND DESIRABLE.

VERY GOOD (VG):  SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONGS INTRO AND FADE. LABELS MAY BE MARRED BY WRITING OR HAVE TAPE OR STICKERS ATTACHED. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE WITH ALBUM COVERS. TAPED SEAMS MAY BE COMMON.

GOOD PLUS: (G+) OR GOOD: (G). I RARELY DEAL WITH THIS CATEGORY.
