Infos about my record grading-system:

I exclusively use the following record-gradings:

• MINT :

Vinyl: Mint is the grade for a flawless record. No scratches, no spindle wear, assumed or known to be unplayed. Factory sealed records are always assumed to be mint, too. I will usually not grade open records mint but use the NM grade instead, except for absolutely flawless records.

Covers: Flawless cover, no signs of wear.

• NM :

Vinyl: Virtually flawless record, with only the slightest possible wear i.e. minimal spindle-wear from one or two turnings or one or two hair-scuffs from removing the record from the cover. A NM-record is not perfect, but as close to perfect as it gets for a used record and it should play without any surface noise.

Covers: Virtually flawless cover, with only the slightest possible wear allowed.

• EX :

Vinyl: used, but still in great collectable shape. Only minor scuffs from e.g. removing the record from the innersleeves and a couple of spindle marks are allowed. Visual inspection will allow the assumption that these play without background-noise.

Covers: Minor wear allowed, but the overall impression should still be very close to new. Very slight ring-wear, discoloration and small price-stickers may occur.

• VG+ :
  

Vinyl: used, with some more obvious signs of wear but still in very nice collectable shape. The VG+-records I offer will still always be discs that have been taken good care of and they will show no deep scratches. They may, however, play with an occasional tic here and there.

Covers: Covers are still in very nice shape, but signs of ageing and usage are more obvious as on EX-records. Covers may have price-stickers, ring-wear, little scuffs and spine wear, but the overall-impression will still always be that of a well-preserved record.
