FINAL UPGRADE QUALITY 

Next day shipping. Vinyl & cover separated and placed in 4 mil professional poly bag and then packaged in a very sturdy 2 ply Lp mailer with an additional cardboard filler pad added  for extra protection.

Vinyl grading: 

M   Mint (like new, looks Unplayed!)  (Superior play) 

NM   Near Mint  (very clean, barely a mark)  (Plays Great!) 

VG++   Excellent (some very light scuffs or hairlines) (Nice Play…barely any surface crackle)

VG+   With a decent amount of scuffs and hairlines (with obvious surface noise)

VG   Very scratched (but plays much better than the appearance seems to be)

Cover Grading:  

NM    Cover shows no seam splits, no ringwear, barely any or no edge wear.

NM-    Same as NM but may have 1 or 2 small imperfections which are not significant

VG++   Perhaps a neatly taped seam split or two, or some creases, or some light ringwear or a combination of these

VG+    Often strong signs of ringwear, or many seam splits, or large very noticeable creases, or stains or a combination of these

VG  An unappealing cover in many ways but the rareness of the album or the high quality of the vinyl makes the album still worthwhile to the listener
