DISC (VINYL) GRADES
I strictly adhere MY GRADING system. All records are graded conservatively visually and audibly.
M=Mint =New: (layman terms) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I SELDOM use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.
SS (STILL SEALED)
Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.
NM=Near Mint. As new. Close to perfect condition.
(layman terms) This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.
Ex= Excellent: I use this to indicate records that are a cut below NM but definitely better than VG+. This should be considered a very desirable grade for older [mid sixties and back] records.
(layman terms) Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.
VG+=Very Good Plus: Slight wear but still a quality copy. Unlike some sellers on ebay, my VG+ grading adheres strictly to STANDARds. A VG+ record has unquestionably seen some time on a turntable, but it has been played gently & carefully stored.
(LAYMAN TERMS)Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.
VG+ by no means indicates a dicey copy! I cannot emphasize this point enough! I abhor & reject the ‘grade inflation’ that seems to have taken hold in online record selling. In the long run, such misrepresentation can only be bad for all of us who care about the hobby. VG=Very Good: The most misunderstood grade. A VG record has substantial but superficial wear. This does NOT mean one of those thrift store Beatles records that looks like it’s been nicked all over with a steak knife! Rather, a VG record will exhibit numerous ‘spider web’ stylus marks, faded gloss & perhaps a few bona fide ‘scratches’ (detectable by running a fingertip along the groove & over the mark ). Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.
The buyer should expect that a VG record will play through without skips, though likely w/ some surface noise. Many fifties & sixties LP records were incredibly well-made & play very nicely in this condition. But of course, without play-testing there’s no way to be absolutely certain. G=Good: Wear and scratches; the record was played a lot, but should still play through without skips. I only sell very rare records in this condition. (Layman Terms)Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
