GOLDMINE RECORD GRADING
MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mintshould never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that therecord or sleeve truly is in this condition. There is no set percentage of theNear Mint value these can bring; it is best negotiated between buyer andseller.
NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retailstore and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearlyperfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhapscorrectly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect. NM records are shiny,with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear onthe label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put therecord on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a recordand label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will doso with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a recordused on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc isproperly cared for.) NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splitsof any kind.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, thiswould be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play theirrecords, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high endof the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or verylight scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps thatdo not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such astelltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapenthe hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but itshould be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ covermight have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long)at thebottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing,such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be consideredNear Mint.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VGrecord. That said, VG records are among the biggest bargains in recordcollecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. Formany listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money. VG records havemore obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most ofthe original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident onsight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. Whenplayed, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible,especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noisewill not overpower the music otherwise.
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectorswho have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remaina fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.VGcovers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or alongthe edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious,though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splittingwill be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t beobvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tagon it, too.
