ALL GRADES LISTED ARE FOR RECORDS ONLY, COVERS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE COMMENTS Inititals such as BK, LP, DH, RS, DK, PCJ, PDG, and others are just to tell me who brought me the record. I sell on consignment. N (new) is what I use for sealed records. I do not reseal albums nor do I know anyone who does so it's just like it came from the distributor. If I see writing on a sealed album I will note that it is probably a resealed but it hasn't happened yet. I try to describe everything I can see on a cover M (mint)is flawless and I rarely use because if its opened and been played only once, its no longer mint. NM (near mint) is nearly flawless, and is what I label everything that looks Mint and no lines around the center hole or outer, raised lip. When I first started grading I used M but now use NM Near Mint for a near-flawless, unplayed looking record. Again, anything opened, whether it's been played or not is no longer Mint, so Near Mint qualifies. M- (mint minus) something that only has very few of the lightest marks visible when you turn it in the light. May have been played, can tell due to center hole and outer lip VG+ (very good plus) has very few light marks and is acceptable VG (very good) plus or minus signs show varying degrees of light marks. I am getting stricter in my grading. what used to be M- is now VG+ or VG++. Prices reflect condition and I have more records under $10 that would go for more at other dealers. VG- has more scratches and would probably not be in your best interest to bother with. altho there are some gems to be found in the vg- section because the more records I grade, the stricter I get G (good or Poor) don't bother with, listed only due to rarity. VSCW - Very Slight Cover Wear SCW - Some or Slight Cover Wear CC - cut corner CO - cutout Due to not everyone knowing these abbreviations, I have started typing them out. Drill hole or cut corner and other cutout marks are usually just noted as cutout, altho there may be some more defined than that. Cover grading - I tried for the last several years to put these grades on covers but because of differences in cover first/record last or record first/cover last, decided it was too confusing and will continue to describe any and all flaws with the cover. Some of these have been in my possession for a while, been moved several times, and so a little more wear may have been accelerated on them, which I try to note before I pack it up and let you know if there are any changes from the listed description of the whole package. Thank you for your patronage, I appreciate it. CDs in sleeves are bargain priced, non-returnable, and ship First Class with a piece of cardboard for protection for $1 less than regular cds in jewel cases. Sorry, I cannot take anything out of a jewel case and send it in a sleeve. Only those listed as in sleeve or no case. |
