| | GENERAL COMMENTS | | |
| | The cassette tapes I sell are either duplicates to my collection or just not my flavor of music. My personal standards are very high, and as a result, I expect to provide the most accurate grading/description possible for each tape listed.
All tapes are play-graded on a Yamaha KX-W952 and rated per the scale below. | | |
| | Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable. | | |
| | Please ask any questions before bidding/purchasing. | | |
| | | | |
| | Please see the grading chart below for specific rating criteria & definitions. | | |
| Grade | Tape | J-Card | | |
| Still Sealed (SS) | Uninspected. Assumed to be new/mint | Original shrink wrap sealed. Refer to additional comments in "Item Condition" above | | |
| Mint (M) | Brand new, and professionally produced | Crisp, clean and perfect in every way | | |
| Near Mint (NM) | Likely new, free of any wear or damage | Crisp, clean with only slight evidence of handling | | | |
| Very Good Plus (VG+) | Taken very good care of and may have light marks or spindle wear
Should play cleanly with minimal noise or degradation | Slight wear, marks, indentations, and/or may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar) | | | |
| Very Good (VG) | May have heavier marks and wear than VG+ including plastic discoloration
Should play with some stronger hiss or degradation, but not enough to overpower music | Will contain more wear, marks, and/or indentations than a VG+
May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing | | | |
Good
(G) | Will have heavy wear on shell
Felt stopper may be missing
Tape may have minor creasing, but not broken
Must play through, may have heavier degradation that will overpower music. | Will be well worn, marked, and contain obvious indentations, fading, and/or writing, more so than a VG grade - possibly a more significant tear/rip. | | | |
| Fair (F) | I don't sell these | | |
| Poor (P) | | |
