I do my best to be thorough and accurate, and take photos in natural lighting to show as much detail as possible. Records are visually graded unless noted.
All items are securely packaged and shipped in professional mailers to survive rough handling while in transit.
Happy to combine multiple items. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

A guide to how I grade records :
I’m generally very cautious and tend to grade conservatively. I’m careful about using NEAR MINT. I sometimes use “VG++” to emphasize condition that comes very close to NEAR MINT, but doesn’t quite qualify as NM... I think it would be the equivalent to “excellent”. Any grade below NEAR MINT includes a description, flaws / issues clearly noted. All items are guaranteed to be as described.
NEAR MINT : Super clean, full gloss, no damage or anything that would affect playback. Visually beautiful, clean labels, only the slightest indications of previous handling would be acceptable (a faint paper scuff, smudge, a very slight, hard to see surface hairline)... noted if necessary, but assume it’s as good as it gets. Generally will not require a description. Sleeve will have crisp edges, square corners — top condition.
VG+ : Could have some additional surface hairlines (mostly visible under strong lighting), minor scuffs, spindle trails, really nothing more. Any marks on the playing surface will be cosmetic (non-audible) unless noted. Will play through very well and will look great. Just can’t call it NEAR MINT. Always accompanied with a description. Sleeve will have some minor edge / corner wear, light ring wear, light general wear but will still be solid and desirable. I would be happy to own one of my VG+ graded items, regardless of the title. Unless you are looking for a archival / museum piece, you’ll be happy, too :)
VG : Could have a “feel-able” scratch, spots of minor surface noise, or obvious signs of usage. Any flaws will be noted. DEFINITELY NOT A TRASHED RECORD. Will still play through well — might have a bit more audible surface noise in spots, will not skip, will still sound quite decent. Usually will play grade these and will note any issues. Sleeve could have moderate to heavy edge / corner wear, some splits, heavy corner creases, etc. Will be noted in description. Photos are always available to reference.
I usually don’t deal with anything below VG unless it’s something really cool.
