I package professionally, and ship items promptly, in sturdy record mailers.

All LP's are placed outside of outer jackets and inside plastic mylar outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. 

About My Grading system:  Essentially Goldmine standards.

Mint records are new, unplayed, and records must be top-notch to receive that grade, with no scratches or marks on the vinyl.  

NM- records are nearly perfect, with the slightest signs of use (no scratches).  

My EX+ records are essentially clean and free of defects besides perhaps come slight sleeve marks, or 1 or 2 small light marks that prevent the LP from being truly NM-.  

VG+ LP’s may have a few more light hairline scratches that DNAP.

VG records have too many light scratches and perhaps a few deeper ones  to qualify for VG+

 Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed (SS).

Near Mint (NM -)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.

The record should show no obvious signs of wear.  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Excellent Plus (EX+/-)      Some light paper scuffs and perhaps 1 or 2 minimal small light scratches.  In general, if not for a couple minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus-Plus (EX) record highly acceptable.

Very Good Plus (VG+)  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.   Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". 

Very Good (VG)    Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

A potential buyer asked about surface noise, particularly repeated pops and clicks during playback.  I play-graded most of but not all of this LP  There is some light crackle during the quietest passages, and between tracks.  The ballad Uranus (2nd track side 1) has some noticeable light surface noise.  There are no repeated annoying clicks, and nothing that is terribly distracting, but there is enough to remind the listener this as a VG LP and not a CD.
