Visual Record Grading System:

All Records are visually graded under natural and incandescent lighting. Surface marks are checked to see if they can cause pops. However surface noise cannot be checked. Vinyl with a lot of luster should play clean. Anything listed as VG++ or above should be free of surface noise.

Covers are graded separately from the records. Sometimes a poster or other insert will also be graded similar to how the covers are rated.

The records are reviewed twice for proper grading before listing. The record will be checked again prior to shipping.

SS : “Still Sealed”. This record is still in the factory shrink wrap and cannot be checked for condition. Record has never been played. Covers may have a cut corner or drill hole. Check photo to verify this.

M : “Mint”. This record has most likely never been played. Covers may have a cut corner or drill hole but no other defects unless noted. Check photo to verify this.

VG++ : “Very Good Plus, Plus”. This record is nearly mint but may have some minor flaw (i.e. Mark on label, lack of luster in a small area). Cover may have slight dent or small mark by pen. Covers with “PR0M0TI0NAL” stickers will not devalue the cover due to the rarity of these LP’s.

VG+ : “Very Good Plus”. This record will have some surface scuffs that should not affect play. Less Luster then new. Played many times but still worth play many more times. Cover may have some ring wear along with flaws of a VG++ disc.

VG : “Very Good”. This record will most likely have a few light scratches. Surface noise is most likely. Most records listed in this category are rare or collectable and listed for the collector to use as a filler disc until a better one is found. Cover could have ring wear, a small seam split, and pen marks stickers. Cover is well worn and will have seam splits, stains and possibly other defects. These will be noted or easily be viewable in photo.

VG- : “Very Good Minus. Several scratches which can be heard. This record would be considered as a ”Filler” until a better copy was available. Covers could have tear and other defects as noted for VG records.

G & G- : “Good” and “Good Minus”. The worst categories. Don’t play this vinyl. This record would be considered as a ”Filler” until a better copy was available. Covers could have tear and other defects as noted for VG records.
