Grading Description Guidelines

Note: Guidelines are just that. Grade may not exactly describe condition, but it is close. Bottom line is you get an album you can live with. I am a long time record collector, an audiophile and worked in the record industry for years. My grading reflects the condition I have keep my albums over the years and would want any records bought used to reflect the same.

Mint (M) Appears that the vinyl was never played and the covers are like new. May be sealed, but there may be a risk the record may be broken or cracked. In that case, a return would be warranted. The shrink wrap if present does not play a part in grading. If it had an inner sleeve is would be original and it is like new. The sleeves were not perfect even when new. They may have a corner folded over and some wrinkles. Mint does not mean perfect. Albums were never totally perfect even when new. The audio is clean. The only problems might be dust or a factory flaw.

Near Mint (NM) This grade has little or nothing to do with the sound. It is mainly visual. Vinyl may have slight imperfections from being handled or stored, these are strictly visual and are rarely heard. An album that would appear mint will be put in this category for spindle marks or sticker damage on the label. Cover may have a cut-out hole, cut corner, or a bent corner due to the shrink wrap "shrinking". There are no large seam splits, ring wear is very minor, so are any marks or writing. Inner sleeve may not be original. Audio might have light infrequent pops or ticks is very clean otherwise.

Excellent (EX) Vinyl may have scratches that will be heard infrequently. Since every LP is not tested audibly, this grade tells you that the vinyl is third in five grades, right in the middle. Cover may have more than one imperfection, including minor seam splits, ring wear, marks or writing. If none of that is obvious, the cover may just look slightly worn. This grade could be either a VG++ or a NM-.

Very Good Plus (VG+) The vinyl may have surface scratches and rubs that would be heard and depending on the listener, might be tolerable. Cover has distinctive signs of wear including, bent or chipped corners, seam splits, tag damage or writing, beginning to show ring wear, stains or yellowing. Whatever the wear, it is not extreme.

Very Good (VG) The album was not well taken care of. The album may have been stored in less than desirable circumstances. Has heavy center spindle marks from being possibly used on a record changer, noticeable groove wear from tone arm tracking too heavy. There may be sound distortion but is not extremely evident when used on lower end sound systems. Covers are all but totally worn looking. More or less extreme wear is evident. Rarely list an album in this grade.
