VINYL GRADING SCALE:

SS (Still Sealed): Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

M (Mint): Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. Very Rarely do I use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.

NM (Near Mint): Generally, this is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

EX (Excellent): Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.

VG (Very Good): Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

JACKET/COVER GRADING SCALE:

SS (still Sealed): Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.

M (Mint): Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

NM (Near Mint): Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX (Excellent): Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

VG (Very Good): Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. (I use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all repairs.) There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.

A Note On Record Grading & Online Purchases:

We visually inspect and grade the condition of vinyl and album covers to the best of our ability. Grading is subjective and what may seem as a particular grade to one individual may be interpreted differently to another. Generally, we try to grade conservatively and so the items are even “better than described” when delivered to your door. We do not grade inner sleeves.

We cannot listen to every album we acquire as that would be simply impossible due to time constraints. Most of the albums we sell are 20 to 50 years old and vintage vinyl more often than not comes with some skips or pops. We have also found that albums that might seem initially disappointing or sub-par in the buyer's opinion can miraculously be brought back to higher standards with a vigorous cleaning. We will not clean vinyl prior to shipping due to end user preference.

If the item is not to your satisfaction as we have described it we do offer a 14-day return policy. The purchase price of the item will be fully refunded less shipping costs. It is the buyer’s responsibility to pay the return shipping charges.

Finally, we are collectors ourselves and only sell duplicate items we have acquired during the search to expand our own personal collection. And like yourself, we do purchase several items ourselves on eBay from other sellers. This is a hobby and not a business … We strive to deal fairly and honestly in all transactions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about a particular item and we will do our best to answer.
