Grading Scale

Sealed

Jacket sealed shut in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is". New, or sealed. We do not grade any record, new or sealed, (or used for that matter) as mint condition. The highest grading is Excellent (EX)

EX

Appears unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. This is only applied to PLAY TESTED recordings. All others will default to VG++

VG++

May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. 

VG+

A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light surface scratches, or other superficial marks. Some audible surface noise on the intro to each side or occasional pops or clicks. 

VG

Same imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. Records graded VG and above will typically not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.

VG-

A number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a VG- grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.

G

Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range.

Each and every record we sell is ultrasonically cleaned and either visually inspected or play tested and graded and then re-sleeved in new high quality poly inner and outer sleeves and for some sales, we use HD POLYETHYLENE & ACID-FREE PAPER!!
