GRADING:
All records in this grouping grade as VG to VG+ (or better) . . . meaning they will play well but most aren't "mint" albums. These have all been visually graded, anything questionable has been play graded in certain passages to ensure it fits into the VG category.
We have included our interpretation of the Goldmine definition of "VG" vinyl below, so you'll know what you're getting.
Album jackets (outer covers) will be in the VG to VG+ range. We have also included our interpretation of the Goldmine definition of "Very Good" album covers so you know what to expect.
BONUS:
**ALL albums have been placed inside of brand new quality 3-mil clear polyethylene jacket sleeves** . . . this is a great way to protect your album covers from storage wear.
INNER SLEEVE POLICY: If the original inner sleeve is missing or damaged, your vinyl will be placed inside a new quality inner sleeve. If the original inner sleeve is present and in VG condition or better, your vinyl will ship with the original sleeve.
So each album purchased will include:
1. VG / VG+ Record (or multiple records) with either the original inner sleeve or a quality replacement sleeve
2. VG or better jacket that has been placed inside a brand new 3mil polyethylene jacket sleeve
All albums ship via USPS Media Mail in proper cardboard record mailers, with vinyl removed from outer sleeves for protection.
That's it.

Our interpretation of Goldmine Standards:
VG Vinyl: "Surface wear will likely be present. Groove wear will start to be noticeable. Scuffs and light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that affect sound quality are normally present. 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. Slight warping of disc may be present. Labels may be discolored, faded, and/or marred with writing, tape or stickers (or residue for previous tape or stickers). Spindle marks on the label should be expected."
**Your record will likely show some combination of the above flaws, but again, will generally provide a very pleasurable listening experience.**
And remember, VG vinyl is the baseline for this listing. Many if not most will play at VG+ level, some will play at the NM levels.
VG SLEEVES: "VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
