Graded modestly

Vinyl Grading Standards:


Mint: Only sealed records are considered mint.

NM : Near Mint : I rarely grade NM. No scratches and clean inlays. This would leave one wondering if it's been played.

EX: Looks great, sounds new. Can have up to 3 scratches per side.

VG+: May have some light scratches. Usually less than 8 per side. Very little change to sound quality. Expected to have sound quality close to near mint.

VG: Has alot of scratches. Usually more than 8 on each side. May have slight affect on sound quality. The primary example is crackling that can be present on quieter sections.

G+: Scratches cover the entire record. Usually the scratches are light and the record can sound fine but skips are a possibility.

G: Record is not playable. Deep scratches, cracks, warps, chips, and more. A record in this condition would need to be ultra rare.



Jacket/Sleeve Grading Standards:


M: Sealed, no storage wear.

EX: Sealed, slight storage wear such as minor ring wear or some rubbing on the edges of the jacket.

VG+: May have one small imperfection such as some fading on the binding.

VG:May have 2 imperfections such as ring wear and a signature.

G+: has 3 imperfections such as ring wear, signature, and a tear on the binding.

G: Has 4 or more imperfections. Generally is not a great sleeve for collectors. Usually structurally intact so it can still hold or preserve the record.
