UK Buyers: Pay only once for postage, regardless of how many items you purchase. Please wait for a combined invoice before paying. For purchases with multiple postage costs, the highest postage cost will be used. Info: For Tracklisting/Info, Please see scan 2. All items are graded using the strict 'Record Collector' standard. There is a note below about Record Collector grading of CDs. As a result, artwork is graded according to the record collector standard, CDs are visually graded. As a general rule though, a VG graded CD (most common) will have no more than a very few light marks or lines but NO scratches. Please feel free to message me for condition clarification on any particular CD you might be interested in. The FULL word for word Record Collector grading system for CD artwork is below the CD grading note. Please read if you are not familiar with it. The gradings below override the eBay gradings. They grade everything together into one general grade where each might be in a different condition. Each is separately graded below. CD: VG Artwork*: Ex Case**: No faults * Any CD listed as used will have scans of the actual item on sale. Further photos will be provided on request ** The only imperfections stated on CD cases are cracks or hinge breaks. The plastic cases may still have scuffs or light scratches. Cardboard digipak cases are graded under the artwork section. |
A Record Collector Note On CD Grading |
As a general rule CDs either play perfectly, in which case they are in Mint condition, or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. CDs are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for CDs can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves. |
