PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER eBAY AUCTIONS - I BOUGHT A HUGE COLLECTION AND WILL BE LISTING MORE THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS/MONTHS. SO THEY MAY HAVE WEAR TO THE COVER, SLEEVE OR VINYL ITSELF. THEY MAY NEED TO BE CLEANED AND I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL AND DO NOT WANT TO RUIN THE ITEM. SO I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO THE PROFESSIONALS TO DO IT ACCURATELY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.

All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, I give an overall presentation grade, supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. Please refer to my grading system below for a more detailed explanation.

MY GRADING SYSTEMS: NM near mint is my highest grade for opened records which would also include unplayed records . It s a 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale. M- would be equivalent to an 8 VG to a 7 VG to a 6 VG to a 5 VG- to a 4 G to a 3 F to a 2 and P to a 1. The same scale applies when I grade covers jackets . Significant defects are specifically noted and taken into consideration in the grade.

GRADING DESCRIPTIONS

RECORDS: GRADING is based on the following criteria Sealed store stock new Near Mint like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale Mint- very nice. Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play VG still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially effect play VG a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems. VG a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc. VG- a well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along. Good not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like Fair you re getting this record just to own but not to play Poor the sky s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone unless the label holds some particular interest

VISUAL GRADING: All records are visually graded only unless I state that they are play-graded. Some major labels were pressed on better quality vinyl and will sound better than a record which visually appears the same on budget labels which were pressed on lower quality vinyl. Recording techniques also varied. The sound on live albums may be far inferior to studio recordings. There may also be defects in the pressing which are invisible. The point is that an album on a high quality label that was visually graded VG may sound better than an album on a budget label that was visually graded Mint- or even Near Mint. Please refer to my return policy, below. But please don t be shocked if a record visually graded Near Mint doesn t sound state of the art. If I base my grade on a PLAY GRADE, I will state this specifically in my grading section.

COVERS: There are really too many possible defects regarding covers to be as specific in my definitions as I had been with my record grades. But please keep in mind these general grading guidelines:

I will give greater weight to the condition of the front cover than back cover when assigning an overall grade No cover with a cut out hole or saw mark will be graded Near Mint even if it is still in factory shrink and there is no other wear I will not reduce the grade of a cover for stickers which are glued to the jacket by the record company eg. Contains the hit song Expressway to Your Heart but will reduce the grade for stickers glued on the cover by stores, previous owners, etc. If I write that a cover has a bb hole, I m talking about a small cut out hole A saw mark is a narrow cut in the perimeter of the cover, could be anywhere and vary in length from 1/2 to 2 at the most. The overall grade takes into consideration any stated defects. For example, if I grade a cover VG and then state it has 6 top and bottom seam splits - I ve already reduced the grade because of the seam splits. If the seams weren t split, the cover would be graded higher such as VG or Mint-.

Please check out my other eBay auctions and stores listings.

I ve been listing all types of records - mostly LP s - including 70 s and 80 s rock n roll and metal bands ., etc....... I try to list unusual, unique or obscure records, not the ones that you see all the time.
