Vinyl Grading:
Mint M or SS Sealed or has just been opened by me, I rarely use this rating for non-sealed items. Records and covers will have no issues. Sealed items are assumed as not being played and there-fore Mint. Sealed SS will not be accepted as a return if opened.
Near Mint NM A near perfect record and cover. May have the smallest of imperfection s. As if it was just opened.
Excellent EX or VG Somewhere between VG and NM.
Very Good Plus VG Record surfaces may have some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches that doesn t affect the sound. May have slight warp. Labels may have slight wear. Cover may have wear and a cut-out , dents, slight ringwear, corner cut or slight seam split. Cover may have small stickers or sticker residue.
Very Good VG or VG- Record surfaces will have some signs of wear. Records will have surface noise. Scuffs and scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail that will affect the sound. Labels may have writing, tape, larger stickers or residue. The same will be true of LP covers including wear, large seam splits, cuts, cut-outs, dents, ringwear, small writing or a small amount of water / moisture damage.
Good G or G Records in Good or Good Plus condition will have surface noise and wear, scratches, scuffs and visible groove wear. Scuffs and scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail that will affect the sound, may have skips. LP cover will have full seam splits, tape, writing, heavy ring wear, rips and tears or large water / moisture damage. I do not sell anything below this grading.
