I have set an extremely reasonable minimum, with no reserve. Good Luck !
My grading system is simple
M - I was transported back in time to a record store and purchased new stock and returned to 2016.
M - It looks like new old stock but I can't prove it.
E+ It looks and plays really fantastic, visual grading under light detected minimal hard to see scuffs and maybe some tiny surface scratches
E It has been obviously been handled and played a number of times, typical minor scuffs and some surface scratches as you would find on most records of this vintage, but still plays really great
E - , quite a few signs of scuffing and other surface blemishes and scratches but still enjoyable .
G+ A serious collector would turn his nose up at it, but a beginner would jump in, sound quality far from great, starting to fade much more gray and little gloss left, and almost ready for the Old record retirement home.
G Been through a war and looks like it was played 100's of times with worn steel needle, A wall hanger or target practice item, or for those who just wanted to say they have one.
