Conditions and Grading
M or M- = Looks and Plays Like New
VG+ = Looks and Plays Great
VG = Record Plays Great (may have some visual imperfections)
VG- = Lowest Grade We Sell (Sounds OK,with minimal static)
Silverball Records partially playgrades every record for sound quality.
Goldmine Grading Standard:
Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
------------------------------------------------------------
Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.

Shipping Methods and Costs
Shipping:
All prices are for 1 45 RPM Single. When more than one is bought, then I will combine shipping to save you money on the cost. We make nothing on the shipping. Therefore, we want to keep your shipping costs as low as possible. Everything is ahipped USPS. For US buyers, if several records are bought, I will try to use Media mail. Thanks for shopping with Silverball.

Canada Orders - $11.00 min (Ranges 11.00 to 25.00)UP TO 1 LB

Orders will be shipped by United States Postal Service. However, will combine to save as much on shipping cost as possible. International orders, I think it starts at 11.00, however, it appears that it is on the 1st one. Each additional 45 should not be that bad. I think I may be able to ship 2 or 3 for the 11 dollars or so. Every order will be weighed to get close to accurate shipping as possible. We did shipping rates up to 1 LB.
Today, Jan. 27, 2013, the USPS raised its rates again. Be rest assured that we will be shipping as cost effective as possible. The minimum price listed above is for the first record. It is not per record. We do not charge any handling fees and welcome any size order. Overseas orders are very high, however, if we find postage is not as much, expect a lower amount to be charged for shipping on International orders. I do not like this increase. I did notice that if you buy more than one record, the price does not go up all that much. Believe me, I will be fair. As we do not make anything on shipping. Thanks.
