GRADING:

Mint - used only for sealed records.
 
Near Mint - Record appears new. Plays as if new.
 
Excellent -  Vinyl may be slightly dulled, and/or have some extremely light surface scuffs which do not affect play.  Minimal surface noise. Very nice copy.
 
Very Good+ - Record may have a few very light surface scratches which sound quietly. Light surface noise may be present. Still very enjoyable.
 
Very Good - Record has some noticeable marks and scratches, noticeable surface noise may be present but nothing which overwhelms the music. Record plays without skips, and can still provide listening pleasure.
 
I generally don't sell records that grade less than Very Good.
