Listado de variables según estado de la carpeta y vinilo: -Still Sealed (SS): Como su nombre indica es un vinilo que nunca ha sido abierto y nunca ha sido escuchado. -Mint (M): Perfecto, casi como si acabase de salir de la fábrica, no tiene marcas ni etiquetas y al escucharlo no hay ningún "Scratch" -Near Mint (NM): Casi perfecto, puede tener alguna imperfección pero mínimas -Excellent (EX/VG++): Las orillas pueden presentar algún desgaste por el almacenaje pero el sonido es perfecto. La portada puede tener ligeras imperfecciones practicamente invisibles -Very Good Plus (VG+): Igual que el anterior pero puede presentar pequeñas marcas del anillo exterior del vinilo y el libreto puede estar un poco amarillento por los años; la portada puede tener desgastes que si se notan. -Very Good (VG): La portada muestra un ligero maltrato al igual que el disco donde se aprecian rayaduras y "Scratches" pero que no desvirtúan el sonido. Es posible que tenga marcas de boli, pero no de rotulador; se nota la forma del vinilo en la parte de atrás de la funda -Good (G): La funda muestra ya "cicatrices" y la portada puede estar doblada, con las orillas rotas en incluso arreglada con cinta transparente, nunca con cinta de embalar o algo peor. Se puede notar la circunferencia del disco en ambos lados, y este puede estar rayado pero se tiene que oir aunque posea "Scratches" de vez en cuando y se escuche el clásico silbido -Poor (P): Un disco rayado, con la portadas y la funda destrozadas. Carecen de valor, sirven para completar alguna colección pero nada más List of vinyl gradings: -Mint (M): we use MINT only for records which are truelly new & never played, coming straight from the ditributor, label or grosssale. -Near Mint (NM): No damages , extremly minor wear and no noise except maybe in the early beginning. No visible marks, which cannot be washed away. Probably only played a few times so far.For old records: you won't find them in better condition -Excellent (EX/VG++): For the casual Collector, this is a still a decent record. No Damages , only minor wear, even it is obviously an used record., hairline scratches could possibly be found but, no annoying noises during play must be expected. -Very Good (VG): can be compared to a good fleemarket record. can have significant signs of use but no damages. It may be noise but never the whole way trough. No Jumps, No Cuts. -Good (G): cover can have some damages,like seams splits, torn , ringwear, folds but not seriously torn or painted in an unbearable way.vinyl can have continously low level noise, also some scratches might be found -Poor (P): you would probably buy an poor record for the cover or a poor cover for the record
Goldmine Grading Standard:
(These standards have been expanded to include definitions of CD specific gradings)
Mint [M]
Vinyl: 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.
CD: Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed.
------------------------------------------------------------ Near Mint [NM or M-]
Vinyl: 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.
CD: Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good Plus [VG+]
Vinyl: 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.
CD: A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good [VG]
Vinyl: 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.
CD: Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.
------------------------------------------------------------ Good [G], Good Plus [G+]
Vinyl: 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.
CD: There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip
------------------------------------------------------------- Poor [P], Fair [F]:
Vinyl: 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.
CD: The CD (if it is included) may or may not play some or all of the tracks. See the seller's comments for details.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.
------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Jewel Cases: Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable.
