FOR VINYL RECORDS: We use standard grading practices from Goldmine (see below for full description), and grade first the cover, then the vinyl record. If there is only one grade then it is for the vinyl only (in most cases only one grade means the item is a 12" single in a generic non picture sleeve). Part One: Used Record Grading The following are terms used in Grading Records Mint: A Mint Record should appear to have just left the manufacturer without any handling. It should appear perfect! No scratches, stains, writing or scuffs, on either the label or vinyl. A cover should appear to never have had a Record in it. Ring Wear (an imprint on the cover from the Record), frays, bends, seam splits, writing: none are allowed in this grade. M-: Near Mint: A record that is otherwise Mint but has one or two inconsequential flaws that do not affect its play. Covers will still be close to perfect with only minor signs of wear or age evident. VG++: Very Good Plus Plus: A record with more inconsequential flaws than a M- grade allows, but is in better condition than VG+. VG+: Very Good Plus. May sometimes be referred to as Excellent. A VG+ record has been handled or played either infrequently or very carefully. The Record may have light paper scuffs from sliding it into or out of a paper sleeve. The vinyl may have lost some of its luster. A light scratch(es) that do not affect play would be acceptable in this grade. On covers: some wear from storage is acceptable, especially light wear that does not overly affect the text or artwork. VG: Very Good. A record Will exhibit visible signs of handling and playing. It will have a loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear, or spindle trails. A VG record looks like it will have some audible noise upon play, but any such noise should not overwhelm the music or ruin the listening experience. A VG cover will show visible signs of handling such as Ring Wear on Front and Back, some seam splitting, bent corners, or loss of Gloss to Photos and Artwork. Note: I will not offer for sale any record in condition worse than VG. Part 2: Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used in describing record condition. cc = cut corner co = cut out coh = cut out hole cvr = cover dj = promotional disc jockey copy imp = import lbl = label LP = 12" 33 1/3 rpm long playing album mo = Mono or Monaural dnap = does not affect play ol = on label org = original promo = promotional copy quad = quadrophonic re = reissue sdtk = soundtrack se = stereo effect electronically produced 2nd pr = second pressing slt wrp = slight warp sm spt = seam split soc = sticker on cover sol = sticker on label sr = slight ring wear ss = still sealed st = stereo 10" = 10" 33 1/3 rpm album t&ts = title and timing strip (promotional dj toc = tape on cover tol = tape on label ts = taped seams wlp = white label promo woc = writing on cover wol = writing on label FOR CDS: SS Still Sealed, new/unplayed M- Mint-, opened but near perfect. VG++ Very Good Plus, close to like new with only superficial signs of use that dont affect play. VG+ or Very Good+, a used but reasonable copy VG OR Very Good, significant wear and marks NOTE ON CDS: WE SELL CDS IN USED JEWEL CASES. WE WILL NOT GRADE JEWEL CASES SO YOU MAY ASSUME THEM TO BE WORN AND USED. OUR GRADE IN THE COVER SECTION WILL COVER THE INTERIOR PAPER INSERTS (most of which will be vg+ OR LIGHTLY WORN.
