*TESTED, PLEASE READ: The album has a lot of gnarly looking scratches on it. Please be advised, it is ugly, but it has been thoroughly play-tested and works great. There is not a lot of surface noise and the record doesn\'t skip at all.
Our records are graded using the Goldmine grading system.
Understanding the Goldmine Grading System:
The Goldmine grading system is the most widely used standard for assessing the condition of vinyl records. It provides a consistent framework for collectors and sellers to evaluate records, ensuring clarity in the buying and selling process. Here are the key grades in the system:
•Mint (M): The record is perfect in every way, typically still sealed and has never been played. This grade is rarely assigned.
•Near Mint (NM or M-): The record appears nearly perfect, showing no obvious signs of wear. It may have been played a few times but has no surface noise or distortion.
•Very Good Plus (VG+): The record shows some signs of use but plays well without significant issues. It may have minor surface marks that do not affect playback.
•Very Good (VG): The record has noticeable wear and may have surface noise, but it is still playable. It may have scratches or scuffs that are audible but not overwhelming.
•Good (G): The record is playable but has significant scratches and surface noise. It may skip or have other playback issues.
•Fair (F): The record is heavily worn and may be unplayable. It is often used as a placeholder until a better copy is found.
• Poor (P)/Worn (W): The record is damaged and not playable. Typically only valuable for collectors of rare items.
Understanding this scale will help you ensure you are receiving a record in the condition you want. We do our best to ensure the accuracy of listings based on this scale since the listing photos are not always perfectly representative of the actual condition of the media.
