All of our records are:
Ultrasonically cleaned for the best listening experience possible!
All of our records are graded on the Goldmine Grading System. We grade the media (vinyl) and sleeve (jacket) separately. The grades are:
Mint (M) =Unopened, still in original shrink wrap
Near Mint (NM) =Should look like it was purchased that day. The album picture sleeve is without fades, cracks or any other flaws.
Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E) = This is the category that most well taken care of records fit into. You can expect a few minor signs of wear. Light but visible scratches or marks that is virtually inaudible. These albums can also have signs of minor warping, again, as long as the playback is not effected in a major way.
Very Good (VG) = The same as VG+ except for more so. Heavier scratches, signs of major handling, simply put; more flaws. However, collectors on a budget may find these appealing as the flaws may only be perceptible on very high end gear. The sleeves will show definite signs of corner imperfections, split sleeve, visible ring wear, etc.
Good (G) also containing subgrades of Good Plus (G+) and Very Good minus (VG-) = These are typically very used records with marring and visible scratches. Again, however, these may still play ok especially if used with low to mid-grade stereo gear. Obviously, there will be quite a few defects but the playback may still be very good. Again, very desirable for the collector on a budget.
Fair and Poor (F and P)= May cause damage to the needle therefore we do not deal with records in these conditions. Garage sales are a good source for these records and heck, you may get lucky!
