GOLDMINE GRADING:
* M =MINT-A MINT RECORD SHOULD APPEAR TO HAVE JUST LEFT THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT ANY HANDLING.
* NM = NEAR MINT- A RECORD THAT IS OTHERWISE MINT BUT HAS ONE OR TWO TINY, INCONSEQUENTIAL FLAWS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY IS NEAR MINT. COVERS SHOULD
STILL BE CLOSE TO PERFECT WITH MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR OR AGE JUST BECOMING EVIDENT.
* VG+ =VERY GOOD PLUS- A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN HANDLED AND PLAYED EITHER INFREQUENTLY OR VERY CAREFULLY. ON A DISC, THIS COULD MEAN THAT THERE ARE LIGHT
PAPER SCUFFS FROM SLIDING IT IN AND OUT OF A SLEEVE, OR THE VINYL MAY HAVE LOST SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTER. ON COVERS, SOME WEAR FROM STORAGE
IS ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY LIGHT WEAR THAT DOES NOT AFFECT THE BEAUTY OF THE ARTWORK.
* VG = VERY GOOD- A VERY GOOD RECORD WILL DISPLAY VISIBLE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND PLAYING, SUCH AS LOSS OF VINYL LUSTER, LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES, GROOVE WEAR,
AND SPINDLE TRAILS FROM COUNTLESS SPINS ON THE TURNTABLE. A VG RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT WILL HAVE SOME SURFACE NOISE WHEN IT IS PLAYED, ALTHOUGH ANY SUCH
NOISE SHOULD NOT OVERWHELM THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE. LIKE A DISC, USUALLY A COVER IS VG WHEN A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ARE EVIDENT: RING WEAR, SEAM SPLITS, BENT
CORNERS, LOSS OF GLOSS, STAINS, ETC.
* G = GOOD- GOOD WILL MEAN THAT THE RECORD IS WELL-PLAYED WITH ANY NUMBER OF DEFECTS THAT COLLECTORS NORMALLY SHY AWAY FROM, SUCH AS AN ALMOST
COMPLETE LOSS OF SURFACE SHEEN, AGGRAVATING SURFACE NOISE, ETC., BUT WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PURCHASER TO STILL ENJOY LISTENING TO IT. A GOOD COVER HAS SEEN
CONSIDERABLE HANDLING OVER THE COURSE OF YEARS AND DISPLAYS THE OBVIOUS SIGNS: RING WEAR ON THE COVER, SOME SEAM SPLITTING, PARTICULARLY ALONG THE
BOTTOM; CORNERS MAY BE DOG-EARED TO A LIGHT DEGREE; AN OWNER MAY HAVE WRITTEN HIS OR HER NAME SOMEWHERE; ETC.
* SS = STILL SEALED
* SW = SHOP WORN
