Our play testing
We test every records before selling them. We listen entirely and take notes of where we hear noises, pops or skips. Notice that it could sound differently on your own turntable or we could miss some defects here and there, but we are doing our best to be as precise as possible. The quality of a playback depends heavily on the equipment used and the cartridge. We are using an Audio-Technica AT-LP60X with a diamond stylus cartdrige.
Our grading (based on Goldmine Grading Standard)
Mint (M)
Vinyl: Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. But, be aware that we rarely grade a record as Mint.
Covers: New. No defect at all, still in original shrink.
Near Mint (NM)
Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. There is not scratches at all and the listening is as new.
Covers: No crease, ring wears or any defects at all. No cut-out markings.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Vinyl: A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. You should not hear any scratching/noise, at this grade, but you might see some very minor physical wears on the vinyl.
Covers: Only minor wear or split (less than one inch long at the bottom). May have cut-out markings.
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl: Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. If we hear some background noises or pops but it doesn't overpower the main content, this is the grading we use.
Covers: Minor writing, tape or a sticker. Minor ring wear can be seen, some crease can be visible. Seam splits more obvious (may appear on 3 sides). Can have a price tag on it.
Good (G)
Vinyl: A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. At this grade, we were able to listen to the record entirely, but the sound quality was affected greatly by the defects. We consider that this is the lowest grade a record can be enjoyable.
Covers: Heavy writing, significant ring wear, obvious damage from a label being removed. Seam split obvious on sight. Still strong structural integrity.
Fair (F)
Vinyl: If a record skip once during our play testing, its maximum rating is automatically Fair (F). If the noises overpower the content on too many occasions, we will also grade it as fair. We suggest that you use it as a filler, for the sleeve or if you don't mind the songs that skipped or are having problems.
Covers: In bad condition. More heavy damage but still contains the vinyl. Might have tapes, a lot of writings, scratches, tears, very heavy seam splits. Water damage can be seen, but not too heavy.
Poor (P)
Vinyl: Unplayable. Sold mainly for the Sleeve or as a temporary filler in your collection. If, during our test, the vinyl skipped two times or more, it is automatically graded as Poor, even if everything else is perfect. We are more strict than others on that front.
Covers: The vinyl record is in there only by human intervention. It is wide open and nothing can save it. Writings of the covers are unreadable. Strong water damage. If the record is also in Poor (P) condition, we will not sell this item at all as a media. Otherwise, we might add this cover with better graded records for free or on request.
