Vinyl Grading as follows

  SS Still sealed in orig shrink

  NM  Looks virtually unplayed , maybe a spin or two. Will play as new,   

  VG++ May have a few blemish not quite NM

  VG+ Album has signs of careful use. Surface noise between tracks and quiet possible due to age..

  VG Record shows signs of  being loved. Scratches, scuffs spots etc, Likely audible tics and crackle though not an absolute.

I will not likely list anything below VG / VG+ 

   Cover grading

 NM  In shrink looks new

VG+ Cover intact, may have minor signs of wear, small split edge wear, ring wear , but solid.Price tags noted.

VG  Cover has integrity but faults, maybe split , worn ,edge wear , peeling wrinkled, you know.

vg  Protective outer sleeve required

    Many of these albums are from the 50's,60's and 70's up to sand > 6o years old. The  vinyl may have surface noise regardless of how well or not they were taken care of.  On Some of the old Jazz recordings I find what seems to be background noise is actually the snare drum rattling something in the room.. These analog recordings are awesome , feels like we right there. 

Some covers will likely betray there age as well , browning delaminating and other signs of age will be present. 

I will try to grade as accurately as possible but am only human so ...
