How I grade records
1. Visual grade
Some times records look good and play bad sometimes they look bad but play great .
Mint no evidence of play or handling
Near Mint NM a spindle mark or two . a few faint marks of evidence of handling but nothing that looks like it would be audible .
Excellent EX more than a few spindle marks obvious evidence of handling but again nothing that should be audible .
2. The condition of the cover
Covers are graded as follows
Mint no signs of wear , still in shrink wrap no bent corners , no cut out damage .
Near Mint . a small amount of wear on the corners . perhaps some yellowing on really old covers , the beginning of ring wear .
Excellent. clean spine . some corner wear . Some light ring wear no splits or cracks .On some European covers the glue may have come undone on one or more of the seams buty otherwise little to no wear .
3. My opinion of the level of sporadic noise, pops, tics etc … this kind of noise may be due to the original vinyl, bits of dust my VPI missed or other reasons. New un played records sometimes have this kind of noise, but I want to give as honest an assessment of the records as I can so I make note every bit of noise I hear
Mint If a record plays with no sporadic noise whatsoever I give it a grade Mint
NM grade
A few soft pops here and there . ( By a few I mean 1 to 10 )If you are involved with the music you might not even notice them .
Excellent
A noticeable amount ( over 10 ) if your are paying attention to the noise and not the music but otherwise would pass unnoticed .
I won’t be auctioning records that go below that grade .
