Vinyl Record Grading

Please refer to the “Item Specifics” section for the condition of each vinyl.

Mint (M)

Rarely graded here. If a record is Mint, it’s almost always sealed, brand new, and free of any visible or audible flaws.

Near Mint (NM)

Looks as if it just came from the record store and was opened for the first time. May have been played once or twice. Very clean, with no significant marks or wear.

Excellent (EX)

Light signs of wear such as faint surface scuffs, light scratches, or blemishes that do not affect playback. Minimal surface noise.

Jacket may show light ring wear, corner wear, small stickers, or writing (e.g., initials).

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Noticeable signs of use. Light scuffs or surface scratches may be present but shouldn’t impact sound quality significantly.

Additional Notes

• All records are carefully inspected, but grading is subjective. Mistakes can happen, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

• Over 50% of our records are cleaned with an ultrasonic machine to reduce surface noise, clicks, and pops. Others are evaluated based on condition and may not require deep cleaning.

• We may tape or glue record jackets when necessary to preserve their integrity.

• We do our best to research every item, but most are estate or auction finds, so full history may not be known.

Please don’t hesitate to message us for additional photos, questions, or grading feedback — we’re happy to help!
