    HOW I GRADE RECORDS:

    STILL SEALED (SS): Factory Sealed, NOT Resealed

    MINT (M): Like New

    NEAR MINT (NM): RECORD GRADE: extremely nice, very well taken care, played but a few times

                                 COVER GRADE: would be mint except for the slightest ring or shelf wear, hardly noticeable

    EXCELLENT (EX): RECORD GRADE: nice, would be NM except for light sleeve marks or very light hairline scratch that doesn't effect play

                                 COVER GRADE: would be NM except for very light ring/shelf wear or crease

    VERY GOOD+ (VG+): RECORD GRADE:  taken care of, but used, may have light scuffs or scratches, plays with some light surface noise, but still very enjoyable.

                                      COVER GRADE: shows moderate ring or shelf wear or crease. (this would be specified when grading)

    VERY GOOD (VG): RECORD GRADE: A well used record with scratches or scuffs, no deep scratches, should sound OK, but may have moderate surface noise & pops

                                             COVER GRADE: Shows ring or shelf wear, creases, possible stain, writing on cover (woc), seam splits (would be specified in grade)

    GOOD (G): RECORD GRADE: Has scratches, should play all the way through, but possibly a skip, lots of surface noise, crackles & pops

                            COVER GRADE: Not taken care of, possibly some damage [water, tears, writing] - (would be specified in grade)

    FAIR (F): Strictly a filler, an item like this wouldn't be listed if it wasn't rare!
