Grading is subject to YOUR eyes and ears, backed by my return policy (see below). Regardless of what anyone says, there is no OBJECTIVE standard for grading used records. I have complete CONFIDENCE in my assessment but I am more than happy to accommodate yours. Between us, you are the Record God.
I do not give out grades above vg+ for anything that has been removed from its original packaging.
vinyl = vg+; clean and glossy, sound is crisp
sleeve = vg+; sparse edge wear; clean and bright
