DISC (CD) GRADES | |
SS (STILL SEALED) | Factory sealed and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined. |
NM (NEAR MINT) | If a CD is opened, I will never grade it as Mint. Near Mint is the Highest grade I will give. The CD is virtually flawless. The CD has most probably been played once as it was being ripped onto a computer and returned to its case. |
EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) | This CD only has only extremely minor hairlines. The CD will of course... play absolutely mint. |
VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) | There is some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but the CD will play mint. I do not sell anything below this grade |
Printed Media (Insert) GRADES | |
SS (STILL SEALED) | Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping. |
NM (NEAR MINT) | The printed media (inserts) are in almost mint condition as good as it gets out of packaging. Crisp edges, no creases, virtually flawless - Some ultra light discolouration due to age is permitted |
EX or VG++ (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) | Very minor signs of handling, very minor creasing, or bumps to corners is allowed. Very Very minor marking due to insert holder permitted |
VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) | Shows some light use - bumped corners or slightly more pronounced creasing, but overall in very good shape. No ink or writing of any kind |
