With this record I’m using an amplified version of the GOLDMINE grading system. In the most marketable grades of  FAIR to NEAR MINT, I’m adding a numerical scale of .1 through .9 after the grade (e.g. VG.7 or NM.5), with .9 putting the record closest to the next grade.

• Condition Grade  Range Points: (MT)MINT, (NM) NEAR MINT, (VG)VERY GOOD, (F) FAIR,& POOR (P)

Description of GRADING Points for VINYL:

POOR (P) condition: is when there are many snaps, crackles, and pops that don't belong but the voices, tones, and rhythm patterns are there for the music aficionado to appreciate. These records may also have scratches and skips in the playing surface. Record would be ideal for those just wanting to have a specimen of a particular artist, title or group of artist work for perhaps momentous or collection purposes.

FAIR ( F )  condition: is when the album demonstrates great playability and moderate play with some instances of breech or residual fuzz and pop that does not significantly compromise one's ability to really enjoy what's played.  

VERY GOOD (VG): implies that the album demonstrate very little play time and should have no impediments to listening quality due to excessive scuffing, audible scratches or due to the fact the record has been extensively played.

NEAR MINT (NM) condition: Minimal paper or handling scuffs; no scratches that can be felt by touch; very few stray abrasions of any sort.

MINT (MT): Condition when album is factory sealed; or when there is no presence of spindle marks and the album looks to have never been played. Vinyl is perfect in every way.
