GRADING:-Each piece, Cover, Sleeve, Paper sleeve, is graded individually. Below is the guide line for grading. However, I do try to be very careful and a bit more strict and try to call out any imperfections as I write the descriptions. Takes a lot longer than just putting down a few letters but I try my best to let people know exactly what I am seeing and what you will be getting.

MINT-(M):- Generally reserved for SEALED Albums. Rare cases of Exceptionally

                      Non handled or played Lp. Cover and lp must look NEW.

NEAR MINT- (NM):- Near Perfect, at most a light scuff apears on the record, should play with out noise or skips. Possible light surface scratch. Cover looks practically new, Minor signs of wear.                                      

EXCELLENT- (EX):-Lp should play with no skips of any kind. There can be some minor surface scratches or scuffs but nothing to affect play or sound quality. Sleeve or Cover may have minor ring wear, creases to corners, few scuffs, minor fade or discoloring. No splits or tears would be acceptable.

VERY GOOD PLUS - (VG+)- This grading category is where the sound quality may be affected - Vinyl may not look great, but still plays well. Some surface noise may be present, May including pops and clicks. Surface will have scratches, scuffs, but not deep enough to cause skips. COVER- May have bent corners, tattered edges. No split seams or holes.

VERY GOOD - (VG) - Vinyl or Lp may not look good, but still plays well enough, Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. COVER - May have seem splits, tattered edges and corners, stains, noticable ring wear. For the most part the cover is still pretty good.

GOOD - (G) - Vinyl well played and looks it. However, the record should still play with out skipping. It will have substantial noise, pops, clicks, Loss of Various parts due to groove wear.

Cover- May have writing, splits, and many other problems.

POOR- No Lp will be listed in this condition unless it is some Holy Grail and I would make sure you knew.

POOR- WILL HAVE TEARS SPLITS, STAINS, WRITING, SCUFFS.....OVERALL VERY BAD CONDITION. Cover could be LISTED with A GREAT Lp.

Basicially It is one you want to hide or throw away and keep the lp.
