Description
Record = VG+ Sleeve = VG+ Poster = VG+ a bit of masking tape on one corner, otherwise, EX+ The photos in my record listings are the actual products you will receive. Photos qualify as part of the description. Many thanks to waxx_traxx_records for the following:
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Sealed(S)
Sealed but that does not mean Mint because there may be hidden damage to the vinyl that will only be known if you open it.
Near Mint (NM)
A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. In layman's terms, a Near Mint record means it looks like you just bought it at the record store new but it may have one or two very minor flaws.
The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Excellent (EX)
I include an EX rating for records that overall look NM, that is they look like you just bought them new with original sheen and luster but they may have a few minor surface "marks" or surface "scuffs" or even one or two surface lines but DO NOT effect playback. The covers also look new but may have a few very minor flaws such as a ding on a conner, or very very minor ring wear but otherwise looks almost brand new. These records and covers fall in between VG+ and NM.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and will have some slight scuffs or very light "hairline" scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences other than an occasional pop or tick. There may be some crackling especially during quiet passages and in between tracks but generally does not over power the music, it may be reduced after professionally deep cleaned. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be EX. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise and crackling will be evident upon playing and persistent during soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, and will sometimes overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be more noticeable, losing most of the original sheen and luster, and with numerous light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will occasionally affect the sound. There may even be one or two deeper scratches that cause pops and minor skips.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers, showing more pronounced ring, edge, and corner wear and ding, and shelf wear which looks like "snow" on the front and sometimes even the back cover. Thee may be a seam split as well. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.
Shipping in a sturdy cardboard box is $3.75 for the first album. Additional albums are $1.00 extra per piece. Up to a total of 4 records per box. Please wait for a combined invoice if making multiple purchases. Thanks for looking and be sure to have a peek at the other items listed this week.
