Our Grading
Because of our high inventory volume, most records are visually graded using the Goldmine grading standard recognized by Discogs.
Mint (M)
Vinyl: Brand new, flawless, unplayed, and usually still sealed in plastic.
Cover: Perfect with zero creases, folds, or defects.
Near Mint (NM or M-) or Excellent (EX)
Vinyl: Nearly perfect. Shines like new with only minor scuffs or paper wisps from the inner sleeve that do not affect play.
Cover: Clean, crisp, and sharp with no ring wear, creases, or seam splits.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Vinyl: Shows light signs of use. May have slight scuffs or light scratches that cause faint pops or crackles during quiet parts, but the music overpowers them.
Cover: Slight corner wear, minor ring wear, or a very small split on a seam.
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl: Noticeable groove wear. Scratches are deeper, feelable by finger and cause continuous soft clicks or light surface noise, but it plays through without skipping. Any background disturbance should not overpower the music.
Cover: Visible ring wear, split seams, or small writing/stickers on the jacket.
Good (G) / Good Plus (G+)
Vinyl: Plays through with possibility of skips, but heavy surface noise, pops, and crackles are constant and loud enough to overpower the music at times. May have a slight warp.
Cover: Heavy ring, or edge wear, major split seams, tape repairs, or heavy writing.
Fair (F) and Poor (P)
Vinyl: Heavily damaged. Expect deep scratches, constant skipping, severe warping, or parts that will not play at all.
Cover: Torn, water-damaged, heavily taped, or falling apart.
