We don't sell albums that skip or are heavily scratched. If for any reason you receive an album that skips, please contact us within 30 days of receipt of the item and we will fully refund the cost of the album and shipping charges.

Below is the album surface rating scale that we use. We rate very conservatively, so be assured that you will receive a product that adheres to this rating scale.

Album Surface Rating Scale:

SEALED = Factory sealed album. If the album sleeve has any damage, it will be noted in the posting.

M (MINT)= Album is free of surface scuffs, hairline scratches and has a glossy finish. What one would expect from a newly played album. Sleeve is free of any defects and looks new.

NM (NEAR MINT) = Album has one or two surface scuffs or very light hairline scratches that precludes it from "M". Surface noises (pops/clicks) are also minimal. Sleeve shows no sign of wear, but may have slight corner dings. Otherwise, the sleeve looks new. 

NM- (NEAR MINT MINUS) = Better than "VG+", but not quite "NM". (I realize that this might look like splitting hairs, but welcome to album grading). The sleeve may have some minor spine wear with very minor corner dings.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) = Incrementally more surface scuffs/hairline scratches/noise than NM-, but still very listenable and worthy of ones record collection. Sleeve may show signs of age (corner dings, slight ringwear, spine ageing), but no tears or other physical damage.

VG (VERY GOOD) = Incrementally more surface scuffs/hairline scratches than VG+, with more noticeable surface noise than VG+. Still a very listenable album. Sleeve may have slight corner crushing, noticeable ringwear, spine ageing and minimal sleeve splits, most likely due to the age of the album.

VG- (VERY GOOD MINUS) = A fair (but in no way heavy) amount of surface scuffs/hairline scratches that come with a commensurate amount of surface noise. This would be an album in need of an upgrade to be collectible, but still a listenable and enjoyable experience. Sleeves may have light corner crushing, heavy ringwear and minor seam splits.

We don't sell albums that have scratches that can be felt to the touch and nothing below VG- is sold on this site.

SLEEVES:

If the album sleeve has damage such as writing, liquid spills, heavy corner crushing, etc., it will be noted in the post. Please use the pictures provided to get a feel for the quality of the cover and we'll do our best to be highly specific when there are issues. Split or torn original inner sleeves will be noted in the post, but they are not graded.

GRADING / PACKAGING / SHIPPING:

All albums sold will be cleaned, visually inspected under a bright light and then graded. Please keep in mind that we grade very conservatively.

The album sleeve will be shipped in a BCW polypropylene sleeve protector and the physical album will ship in a Diskeeper inner sleeve protector outside of the album sleeve. All original inner sleeves and lyric sheets will ship in the album sleeve.

 The sleeve and album will be packaged in a heavy-duty cardboard album mailer and shipped via USPS Media Mail. The first album will cost $5.00 to ship. Each additional album will cost $2.00 to ship. Note: Double albums count as two.
