Records are play graded for condition, not just a quick visual like most sellers! RECORD GRADING 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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect
condition. Records advertised, as
Sealed or Unplayed will be mint. EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY
GOOD + The record may have scuff
marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout,
with only barely detectable crackles or pops. A slight noise at the
beginning is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. The
cover may only have the slightest signs of normal wear. 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, discoloration, etc. Sometimes + or - will be used to denote slightly higher or lower grades
