----------------GRADING GUIDELINES-------------------------------
-------RECORDS----Goldmine Grading states that VG+ / E records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Expect minor signs of handling, such as telltale marks around the center hole (but the hole is not misshapen).
-------JACKETS/COVERS - Goldmine Grading states that VG+/Very Good Plus Covers are Free of writing, stickers or major blemishes. Outer cover may show some minor seam wear or a split less than one inch long along the bottom, which is the most vulnerable location. A cut-out marking may be present. Picture sleeves may show some slight creasing where it is obvious the record once resided (or still does reside). May show minor seam wear or a split less than 1 inch long along the bottom.
VG Covers - Expect obvious signs of human handling and normal wear. Ring wear is expected in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the labels or edges of a record would rest. Seam splits may appear on all three sides, but they won't be obvious.
Writing or a price tag may be present. The cover may be dull or discolored, have bent corners, stains or other problems. If the record has more than two of these problems, reduce
its grade
