Live Wax Grading Process
------------------------
All items (except new items and cylinder records) are play-graded and scored on a 10-point multi-dimensional scale. Our proprietary grading process utilizes engineering instrumentation and metrics to add objectively quantified record condition to traditional visual inspection and play-grading. The process:
- Record is fluid and vacuum-cleaned
- Record and jacket visually inspected and graded on appearance
- First metrics gathered before playing
- Played through once on each side, additional metrics gathered
- Placed in anti-static inner sleeve, then in original jacket
- Placed in outer sleeve (w/original inner sleeve if present) and stored in divided container with cover in climate-controlled environment
- Record grade determined by statistical combination of collected metrics and visual inspection (e.g., label marks); jacket grade by visual inspection
We believe that Goldmine and other grading standards are useful but far from optimal methods for assessing and representing the condition of a record. The proliferation of + and - qualifiers and the subjectivity of standards application makes it extraordinarily difficult for the buyer/collector to interpret and compare the grades provided by many sellers.
In addition to contemporary metrics, we use grading categories borrowed from the rare book trade, which has a centuries-old tradition in the visual inspection and characterization of the condition of physical objects that are in more-or-less regular use.
Finally, we are conservative in our grading: if in doubt, we err on the side of caution and apply the lower grade. We intend for our customers to be delighted more often than not, and never less than satisfied.
Grades
------
New (10.0) - a record still sealed in its original shrink wrap, AND with no discernible flaws
As new (10.0) - no apparent or discovered flaws, jacket crisp and stiff, record appears unplayed
Fine (9.5) - no material flaws, shows minimal evidence of handling and play
Near fine (9.0) - slight surface and spindle/ring wear; jacket with some seam and/or corner wear, but no middle splits
Very good (8.0 or 8.5) - readily visible and audible evidence of use, but plays well and looks good; may have cut-out (always disclosed if present)
**********
(we will generally not offer any records in less than very good condition, unless of such importance that any copy is to be prized)
Good - 7.0 or 7.5
Fair - 6.0 or 6.5
Poor - 5.5 and below
