Visual "45
RPM Record Grading Standards" as follows:
- Mint (M) ~ Perfect
in every way. Never been played. Normally " STILL SEALED ".
- Near Mint- (NM-) ~
The vinyl, styrene, or shellac looks glossy and clearly has only been
played a few times, if ever! May show an extremely slight surface
mar.
- Excellent (EX) ~ May show
some slight evidence of having been played and handled.
- Very Good Plus (VG+) ~ Will show a few
faults. A little rub, a light audible scratch, or background crackle
may occur. Record sheen has normally been diminished.
- Very Good (VG) ~ 45 RPM has seen a
bit of life but is still usable. Light pops, clicks,
and/or light visible scratches may be present. Label wear is often
present. You can still listen to the 45 record and enjoy looking at
it; but it is visually and audibly " USED ".
- I will rarely offer a 45 RPM record that
would grade below these standards. When I do, it is strictly because
of the collectability of the particular record or 45 EP.
- Any reference to an evaluation of a jacket or sleeve
should be disregarded by all buyers. Beginning 5/11/2021; eBay made
it a requirement to fill the box evaluating the jacket and sleeve prior to
allowing a listing to go live. I stand by my 20 plus
year history as an eBay seller of
advising all buyers to evaluate all photos, and grade sleeves
according to their particular standards and expectations.
What the buyer can expect:
- I
describe all listings to the best of my ability.
- Please
ask questions. I will answer " QUICKLY "
and " HONESTLY "!
- I
ship daily.
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service is
my goal. I always leave positive feedback, once I receive
positive feedback.
- I
work within eBay recommendations
that buyer and seller should communicate with each other during the
purchase process. I respond to all concerns.
- I
will accept a return on domestic purchases " ONLY
IF NOT AS DESCRIBED ". Buyer
" MUST " contact me prior to
initiating any return. Buyer pays all return shipping charges.
- I
suggest that you mouse over any photo that may concern your decision
making.
- All
records are graded under high intensity fluorescent lighting.
- Please review all photos to establish condition and value
of this listing. This is your best description because " WHAT
YOU SEE . . . IS WHAT YOU GET! "
- Additional photos are available upon request.
- " BUY IT
NOW "
requires immediate payment.
- Buyers who wish to purchase more than one 45 RPM record are
advised not to click " BUY IT NOW ".
Instead, please click " ADD TO CART ".

then send you an invoice with the correct shipping costs.
