Grading System / How is the condition of used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. graded?
The
condition grading system for used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. is based
upon the internationally accepted anglo-american grading system
provided by Goldmine or Record Collector magazine
Vinyl Sleeve grading system
SS/STILL SEALED
- the record is still factory sealed and has never been removed
from it s sleeve
NM/NEAR MINT - the highest grade - except for STILL SEALED vinyl is visually perfect - no scratches or marks at all. Cover is like new
EX /EXCELLENT PLUS - cover or record have just a few faint paper sleeve marks or completely insignificant hairline scratches that do not affect play at all - visually they should be barely noticeable
EX/EXCELLENT - record has been handled or played carefully, and may have some light paper or spindle marks or other very minor flaws that really shouldn t affect play at all. It will still play clean with very little or no surface noise. Minor signs of wear on the cover - but nothing significant
VG /VERY GOOD PLUS - record has been played, has some light / hairline-type scratches - but nothing that stands out without close inspection or that can be felt ie, nothing deep . Really should only be noticed between songs or possibly in very quiet spots and then should not be distracting or continuous. Cover could have light ringwear, small tears , scuffs or small seam splits
VG/VERY
GOOD - record has been well played, could have some scratches,
perhaps some minor groove wear. There will be some surface noise,
occasional clicks or pops - but no skips or jumps. Cover has
been well used. Possible tears, seam splits or scuffs
Unlike many other sellers I rarely grade a used item as mint . Usually the items are in EX excellent to VG very good condition.
I usually do not sell records in less than VG condition.
I believe that I grade fair correct as my feedback shows:
customers are satisfied and can deal with my grading system
Last but not least: I m a collector myself and follow the golden rule: treat your customers as you wish to be treated yourself and there ll be no trouble
If still in doubt: please feel free to contact me ahead of buying and / or bidding and I gladly explain how the grading system works and can comment specifically on the individual item in question
