GRADING

Grading is as per Goldmine Magazine grading standards, with items being graded conservatively.

SS : Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition

M : Mint - perfect, possibly unplayed

NM : Near Mint - a near perfect, may have just a few light surface scratches

VG+ : Very Good Plus - has some superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.

VG : Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG- : Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.

G+ : Good Plus - In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
