Conditions and Grading

CONDITION(cover/disc)
The UK record collector magazine grading system is used.
Almost of our items are used goods.
We grade all records by VISUALLY by looking under the bright light and usually wash and clean majority of them before uploading to the sale list.
However, grading is done by only EYES, Some MINT looking records accidentally might have non-expected noises. Cannot help this trouble. We don't accept return. Please beware.
