GRADING:

Grading is done visually and with playing. Vinyl grading is based on the Goldmine Trade Magazine standard and is as follows:

M: Mint. No used record will be considered mint.

NM:  Is the highest grading.  Record should look unplayed, shiny, glossy, no visible marks. NM covers have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.

VG+:  Record may have a few minor marks or surface scuffs. A good description of a VG+ Record is “except for a couple of minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking.

VG:  Record will have light scratches, noticable marks, and surface noise may be apparent. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail.

VG-/G:  Record is rough and may be beat up a little bit. It has significant surface noise and groove wear. The label is worn and exhibits significant ring wear, heavy writing or obvious damage caused by trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably.

A Good to VG- cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.
