GRADING:
Standard Goldmine grading (C/R) and abbreviations. All opened items visually graded unless otherwise noted. Sealed items have never been opened.
GRADING METHODS:
Vinyl
Visually graded: Record visually inspected.
Play Graded: Record played in its entirety.
Play Tested: Portion of record (at least one track) played to test for surface noise.
CDs
Digipak covers, jewel case booklets and tray inserts, and disc labels graded using the same standards as those used for vinyl grading. Since most CDs have at least several visible scratches on the play side, these are not noted in the description unless they affect play. Generic jewel cases are not graded, but any cracks or damage to hinges are referenced in listing.
Cassettes
Visual inspection of J-card/booklet, shell, pads, guides, and rollers (where visible). Play tested when possible.
8-Track Tapes
Visual inspection of slipcover, shell, label, tape, roller, and pads. Some tapes are play tested. If so, that is noted in the listing. Whether tested or untested, 8-Tracks are sold as memorabilia.
SHIPPING
All items shipped via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested and paid for by buyer. Cover housed in a protective plastic sleeve, vinyl in a polylined inner sleeve, and shipped in mailers specifically designed for records, with filler pads. I will combine shipping on up to three 7" or two 12" records, two 8-track tapes, three cassette tapes, or three CDs. If you purchase items eligible for combined shipping, please do not pay for your items until I send you an invoice.
