RATING
Guidelines for assessing the grading / condition of used records (based on Goldmine Grading for Records)
Mint (M): perfect! This record looks like it has
just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as
though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or
stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No
tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the
record has nothing to do with it.
Near mint or NM, M-
: this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very
little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise
over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to
perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to
the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be
acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO
Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some
impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some
slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the
eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was)
meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped
repairs can make this grade.
Very good plus or VG+ record shows
wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws
will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any
surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A
virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork
looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually
gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat
yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the
seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will
be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In
essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
Very good or VG: this record is a
record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good,
but it will STILL play very good. there will almost always be some
surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be
excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well
have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn,
used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear,
where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow
falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG
condition. There may be some writing on the cover (still, no Large
letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to
contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke).
Still it should be decent.
Good or G A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting
surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will
also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It
should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated
clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some
form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can
still hear noise caused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about
everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped
repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape
repairs. These are big turn offs. May have magic marker writing on the
cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off.In
essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will
still be noticed. If the artwork is worn, it is pOOR and the cover is
worthless.
On a scale from 1 (poor) to 10 (perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 8, Excellent - 7, Very Good plus - 6 , Very Good - 5 , Good - 2
