Grading
All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition.
The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG).
As a rule Near Mint (NM) is my highest grade.
* I don't believe in Mint (M) and will only use it in the exceptional case
when absolutely sure to deal with an item from unplayed and untouched stock.
I don't offer anything below VG.
