Here's a reference on record grading:
The Goldmine record grading system is a widely recognized standard for assessing the condition of vinyl records and their covers. It uses a scale ranging from Mint (M) to Poor (P), with various plus and minus grades in between to denote subtle differences in condition.
Here's a breakdown of the Goldmine grading system:
Vinyl Grading:
- Mint (M):
The record is in perfect condition, just as it was when it was originally manufactured. It has never been played and is essentially flawless.
- Near Mint (NM):
A near-perfect record with only minor imperfections, such as a few barely visible scuffs, that do not affect the audio quality.
- Very Good Plus (VG+):
A well-cared-for record with some minor signs of wear, such as light scuffs or surface noise between tracks, but no skips or significant audio issues.
- Very Good (VG):
A record with more noticeable wear, such as surface noise during playback, but still playable without skips.
- Good (G):
A record that plays through without skipping, but has significant surface noise and visible wear.
- Fair (F):
A record with significant noise, scratches, and potential skipping issues. The cover may also be damaged.
- Poor (P):
A record that is likely damaged beyond playable condition.
Cover Grading:
- Mint (M): A flawless cover, just like the vinyl.
- Near Mint (NM): A cover with very minor wear, such as slight creasing or shelf wear.
- Very Good Plus (VG+): A cover with some wear, such as minor ring wear or corner wear.
- Very Good (VG): A cover with noticeable wear, such as ring wear, seam splits, or writing.
- Good (G): A cover with significant wear and potential damage.
- Fair (F): A cover with heavy wear, tears, or other damage.
- Poor (P): A cover that is heavily damaged and potentially uncollectible.
