             RECORD GRADING

I DO NOT GRADE SOUND! ALL GRADING ARE CONSERVATIVE AND VISUALLY BASED. MY GOAL IS TO DESCRIBE THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE ITEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. ALL RECORDS ARE PREVIOUSLY CLEANED BEFORE VISUAL GRADING TO ENSURE ACCURACY.

GRADING SOUND IS FUTILE BECAUSE SOUND IS AFFECTED BY PICK UP EQUIPMENT. WHAT I WILL DO IS PLAY TEST THE RECORD WITH MY $1,000.00 CARTRIDGE AND REPORT WHAT I HEARD AND THE BUYER CAN MAKE THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL I PROMISE A BUYER THAT A ANY RECORD EVEN A SEALED ONE IS FREE OF MARKS, HAIRLINES, FINE LINES OR MICRO LINES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RECORD IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING.EVEN A BRAND NEW RECORD IF YOU TAKE IT OUT AND EXAMINE IT UNDER STRONG LIGHT WILL SHOW A FEW SPECS OF LINES. NEAR MINT OR MINT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY THAT A RECORD IS PERFECT. 

I DO NOT HAVE ANY PERFECT VINYL IN MY COLLECTION AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE.
