These LP's graded per quoted Goldmine Standards with me playgrading and giving 2 grades on the record (Sonically and Visually): 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

A good description of a VG+ record is except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint. Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) A good description of a NM record is it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it's nearly perfect. Many dealers won't use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect.

Professionally shipped correctly as it should be in the best packaging-not a pizza box or some other amateur stunt.
No returns-but have confidence I have worked hard for my feedback. If there is a problem let me know-I will treat you right. 
I have many incredible records to sell and not much time to make it happen. Please Check Back.
