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 will be some visible scratches and scuffs, the CD will however 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
