Description
We have decided to sell our collection of records as we are now of an age where we are having to down size our house and as storage is of a premium we are having to let them go. They have been in our possession since new and lovingly cared for.
This copy of Vertigo by Dire Straits is in excellent condition. There are no scratches or scuffs on the vinyl and it still retains its original shiny surface. There are no spindle marks in the center.(I have tried to show this in the photos) It is in its original paper inner sleeve. The outer sleeve is in good condition. There are no visible creases or tears to the album cover. There are no rips or tears to the cardboard and the spine is intact. I have tried to describe it as best as I can as I am not a professional record dealer.

I have found this record grading guide and I am trying to grade my records accordingly.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or unplayed should be Mint.
Near Mint: a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
