I DO NOT PUT KNACKERED AND TATTY RECORDS ON EBAY, UNLESS THEY ARE OF EXCEPTIONAL RARITY. I GUARANTEE THE CONDITIONS IN MY DESCRIPTIONS, AND RECOMMEND YOU CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK COMMENTS.
VINYL GRADING
VG - The disc has been played quite a few times
but still plays OK, with some surface noise and
has a few surface marks, but nothing serious.
EX - The disc has been played a handful of times
and appears in great shape, with only very light
surface marks.
NEAR MINT - The disc appears to be unplayed
but is betrayed by 1 or 2 spindle marks on the label
and displays only the very, very lightest of surface
marks, viewable only under close scrutiny.
MINT - The disc is unplayed and as new.
COVER GRADING
VG - The cover has lost the sharpness of the
corners, and may display a few light creases, with
some yellowing to the rear, but no rips or tears.
EX - The cover is in very nice condition, with only
minor discolouration to the rear, and appears to
have been looked after.
NEAR MINT - The cover appears new, but has
the lightest of blemishes, which are apparent
only under close scrutiny.
MINT - As new (i.e. As if you'd bought it that
day !)
