I have been a record collector for 25 years and it is now time to thin the herd. I am not a professional but do my best to accurately grade and describe record and jacket conditions. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

Remember- mono records will sound best when they are played in MONO! I spot play grade mono records using mono playback. Playback of a mono record in stereo will result in more surface noise than the record grade reflects.

Record Grading (grading is to Goldmine standards)

M (Mint) This grade is used only in the rare instance that a record looks absolutely unplayed.

NM (Near Mint) Near perfect. At worst, a few paper rubs- nothing that would ever affect playback.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) A record may have some markings. These markings will not significantly affect play.

VG (Very Good) A record with mild surface wear- some markings/very few light scratches. There may be mild surface noise, but its overall impact on the playback of the record will still be small.

VG- (Very Good Minus) A record that shows some wear from play. Surface marks and some light scratches may be seen. Still enjoyable.

G (Good) A record that has been enjoyed. Surface marks will be apparent and some scratches are possible. Luster may be lost. Surface noise will not dominate playback.

SS (Still Sealed)

Cover Grading (any significant blemish not mentioned in the descriptions below will be included above)

M (Mint) A cover that looks like it has not been handled. Sharp corners and no visible blemishes.

NM (Near Mint) A cover with only minor shelf wear. A record that has clearly been stored properly

VG+ (Very Good Plus) A cover that does have minor blemishes- wear to corners, light ring wear, etc. An average cover condition.

VG (Very Good) A cover that shows distinct wear from handling. There may be ring wear, minor discoloring, edge, and spine wear and less than 1.5 inch seam split(s).

VG- (Very Good Minus) A cover that has some damage, but is still intact. Ring wear may be heavy; there may be seam splits and stains.

G (Good) A cover that holds the record. Structural damage may be apparent. The picture should show obvious blemishes.

SS (Still Sealed)
