Grading:
Standard Goldmine Grading:
Grading is COVER/RECORD.
SS Still Sealed - in original factory shrink wrap.
M Mint - I RARELY use this grade - once an item is handled it's usually no
longer MINT.
NM Near Mint - a near perfect, probably unplayed record. NM covers have no
creases,
folds, seam splits or signs of wear.
VG+ Very Good Plus - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that
don't affect
play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the
most
demanding collector. Except for a couple of minor things, this would be near
mint. VG+
coveres are close to their Near Mint counterparts but will be marred in some
fashion with
some signs of handling and/or wear at the most vulnerable areas.
VG Very Good - a used, reasonably-priced copy. There will be obvious signs
of wear and
surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still very playable.
Should not
contain any skips. VG covers have more signs of wear and seam splits,
especially at
bottom center, middle of the spine, and upper and lower right where the
record is
removed from the cover. Writing, tape or stickers will detract from this cover
and wear on
cover will be obvious. VG records are often amongst the biggest bargains in
the record
collecting hobby as the big money goes for the more pristine (and rarer)
grades.
VG- Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and very noticeable
surface noise. VG-
covers has significant seam splits, tears, tape, markings, or similar
disfigurement.
G Good - in the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair,
Poor), we're
talking about beat-up records.
ABBREVIATIONS:
bb hole = drill hole in label or jacket
notched or cutcorner = saw mark or cut corner on cover
cw = cover wear
dj = promotional issue 45
dj time strip = dj timing strip (12" x 4" white sticker on cover detailing titles
and playing
time)
