LP GRADING SCALE:
MINT = LP and Inserts/Cover are New and/or Sealed.
NEAR MINT = LP and Inserts/Cover are not sealed, LP most likely has been played but looks ‘like new’. An Insert/Cover shows no signs of use/handling.
EXCELLENT = LP shows minor signs of use that may include a few light, shallow scratches/paper scuffs and/or markings. An Insert/Cover may show minor bending/denting from handling/use.
VERY GOOD = LP shows multiple light scratches, paper scuffs and/or markings. An Insert/Cover may show a combination of bends, dents, creases, tab indentations and/or cut outs.
GOOD = LP is heavily scratched and/or marked. An Insert/Cover may show a combination of multiple bends, dents, creases, tab indentations, moisture contact and/or cut outs.

ALL GRADES ARE GUARANTEED TO PLAY CORRECTLY!

My visual grading process is to observe the LP under a bright light and to tilt the LP in various positions. I do not take my grading scale lightly. Your LP will be as described. Enjoy!
