My Grading Philosophy (Updated 20th Nov 2025)
- I use a hybrid of Goldmine (US) and Record Collector (UK) standards as follows:
- Perfect condition in every way.
- Guaranteed unplayed or factory sealed.
- Cover, inserts, and inner sleeves are flawless.
- Almost indistinguishable from Mint.
- Record may have been played once or twice with no audible issues.
- No visible marks, scuffs, or handling wear.
- Cover is bright, clean, and free from major defects.
- Very light signs of use but still a high-end copy.
- Hairline marks or faint sleeve scuffs may be visible under strong light only.
- Should play near-perfectly with minimal background noise.
- Sleeve may show slight edge wear or minor handling but remains clean and attractive.
- Better than VG but not quite EX.
- Light, non-feelable marks or occasional low-level noise may be present.
- Still a solid, enjoyable listening copy.
- Sleeve may show moderate wear, small creases, or faint ring wear.
- Played many times and will show signs of use.
- Audible surface noise, more noticeable in quiet passages.
- Light groove wear or feelable scratches possible.
- Sleeve will show general wear, writing, or small defects.
- Significantly worn and may skip or repeat.
- Heavy noise and visible scratches.
- Sleeve may have tears, splits, stains, or missing sections.
- Just about playable with heavy noise, jumps, or distortion.
- Sleeve heavily damaged, torn, or defaced.
- Unplayable, cracked, or broken.
- Sleeve badly damaged or incomplete.
