HOW I GRADE RECORDS:

STILL SEALED (SS): Factory Sealed, NOT Resealed

MINT (M): Like New

NEAR MINT (NM): Record Grade: Extremely nice, would be mint except for sleeve marks or very light hairline scratch that doesn't effect play.

Cover Grade: Would be mint except for the slightest ring or shelf wear, possibly a slight crease. (this would be specified when grading)

VERY GOOD+ (VG+): RECORD GRADE: Well taken care of, but used, may have light scuffs or scratches, plays with some light surface noise, but still 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 that should sound OK, but may have moderate surface noise & pops

COVER GRADE: Shows moderate ring or shelf wear, creases, possible stain, writing on cover (woc), 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!
