HOW I GRADE RECORDS:

STILL SEALED (SS): Factory Sealed, NOT Resealed

MINT (M): Like New

NEAR MINT (NM): RECORD GRADE: extremely nice, very well taken care, played but a few times

                             COVER GRADE: would be mint except for the slightest ring or shelf wear

EXCELLENT (EX): RECORD GRADE: nice, would be NM except for light sleeve marks or very light hairline scratch that doesn't effect play

                             COVER GRADE: would be NM except for very light ring/shelf wear or crease

VERY GOOD+ (VG+): RECORD GRADE:  taken care of, but used, may have light scuffs or scratches, plays with some light surface noise, but still very enjoyable.

                                  COVER GRADE: shows light ring or shelf wear or crease. (this would be specified when grading)

VERY GOOD (VG): RECORD GRADE: A well used record with scratches or scuffs, no deep scratches, should sound OK, but may have moderate surface noise & pops

                               COVER GRADE: Shows moderate ring or shelf wear, creases, possible stain, possible writing on cover (woc), possible seam splits (would be specified in grade)

GOOD (G): RECORD GRADE: Has scratches, should play all the way through, but possibly a skip, lots of surface noise, crackles & pops

                   COVER GRADE: Not well taken care of, possibly some damage [water, tears, lots of writing] - (would be specified in grade)

FAIR (F): Strictly a filler, this wouldn't be listed if it wasn't rare!
