THE GRADING OF RECORDS
and Business Policy
=Factory Sealed
=Almost Mint
=Looks Mint
=Above Average
= Average
= Covers
Ideally, all records should be listened to, from start to finish, while wearing a headset. Since this is not practical, the next best thing is sight grading. In sight grading, every attempt is made to measure the amount of wear a record has received. A record can appear almost new and sound awful because of something that happened in the pressing or groove damage that is not apparent. For this reason and just because it is good business, we sell all records with a money-back guarantee. You will find our grading system to be comprehensive and easy to understand.
(All sight grading deals with natural wear or damage and does not cover inherent surface noise—only playing can do that.)
FACTORY SEALED – The record is still in the original shrink wrap and has never been played.
LOOKS MINT – If there is any doubt about whether a record has been played; this grade is in order.
ALMOST MINT – This is the highest grade of used record. These records have usually seen few plays at most or were handled so carefully that the appearance is still that of a hardly played record.
ABOVE AVERAGE – Records in this condition show signs of having been played more than just a few times. However, unless the record is very old, you should still see some mint luster. Watermarks or rubs (light scratches), that do not effect sound, are quite common. Considering the age of the record, these records are exactly what the grade would indicate. They are in better than average condition…for their age.
AVERAGE – An average record is not an abused record. While most of the luster is gone, it should not have deep scratches. However, you can expect light scratches. While these records have been enjoyed and may have slight surface noise; they have not been used for a Frisbee. They have not suffered groove damage because someone used a nail for a needle. An “average” record is still a very good record. When in doubt, this is probably the proper grade for most used records.
We do not list for auction LP’s in less than average condition.
COVERS – Every attempt is made to describe any defect or unnecessary writing on the record jacket. If the cover has been repaired or needs repair—we tell you. If the cover has been drilled, clipped or otherwise mutilated, it will be part of the description. In the case of tears in the art work or water damage—we will alert you to the fact and there won’t be any surprises.
