Grading Scale

            You deserve an accurate description of what you’re buying. We try our best to give you that. Our records are visually graded under strong light. If we have also played the record, we will say so. If when you receive your record you disagree with our grading, let us know. If you wish, we’ll take it back and refund your money.

            We use a simplified Goldmine standard:

            Mint (M) – A perfect, unplayed record.

            Near Mint (NM) – A nearly perfect record. Cover is immaculate. Vinyl shows no visible scuffs or scratches.  Played only a couple times, at most.

            Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (EX) – A nice record that has been played but well cared for. Vinyl is glossy but shows slight signs of wear, such as light scuffs, very light scratches that do not affect the sound, minor spindle marks. Label might show some evidence of wear but is still lovely. Cover might have hairline creases, a soft corner or two, or minor ring wear. VG++ is the high side of this grade.

            Very Good (VG) - A record that has received a good amount of play and has visible flaws but still plays well, albeit with some audible imperfections. Vinyl might have numerous surface scuffs and light scratches, a minor warp that doesn’t affect the sound, loss of original gloss. Label shows evidence of wear. Cover shows signs of handling, such as minor seam splits and ring wear, but remains pleasing to the eye. VG- is the low side of this grade, perhaps due to writing, tape, stickers or other flaws.

            Good (G) - Does not mean bad. The record still plays, but with significant surface noise and groove wear; the label is worn, with major ring wear, heavy writing or obvious damage; the cover has significant seam splits, awful ring wear, and heavy writing such as radio station call letters in thick ink. A “good” record might serve as filler for your collection until you acquire one of better quality.

            Poor (P) and Fair (F) records are rarely listed, except as part of large lots, and have little or no value.
