One careful, fanatical owner from new - never traded.
Please read the following in full and zoom in to pics before bidding to make sure you're happy with the condition. I spend at least half an hour inspecting, cleaning and photographing each record.
N/M vinyl EX sleeve
Near mint clean glossy vinyl. Clean label. Original inner sleeve clean and glossy. A couple of miniscule creases on bottom edge. Outer sleeve clean with light discolouration round edges on back. A little nick on the spine but otherwise intact. A few Small creases on bottom edge of sleeve with a bit of colour wear on bottom edge.
Grading criteria
Please note that all of my records are visually graded, using the rare record collectors guide, under strong light, unless otherwise stated.
Mint (M):
I would only grade as mint where the record is brand new and sealed with no visible damage to the sleeve.
Near Mint (NM):
Sleeve: Will only show very minor signs of storage/handling wear. It may have slight corner bumps/rub, ringwear and maybe very minor creasing. It will have no rips or splits.
Record: Will be in a new like condition. Very Clean. It may have very, very minor defects such as no more than a couple of very light wispy hairlines and a couple of spindle trails around the centre holes. Basically a record in NM condition will look like you have just got it back from the record shop or at worse only had a couple of plays.
Excellent (EX)/Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve: As NM but the signs of wear will become a little more pronounced. There may be signs of stress at the seams maybe the beginnings of a split. There may be a little graffiti on the sleeve or label.
Record: Will show signs of play but has been well looked after by the previous owner. It may show a few more light marks/scuffs than a NM. These marks won't be deep enough to be felt. There may be the odd click or crackle upon playback. Slight warps are that don't effect the sound are OK.
Very Good (VG):
Sleeve: A VG sleeve will have many of the defects found in a EX but more pronounced. Seam splits may be more obvious or may be taped or show residue. There may be small rips. It may show some age/handling discolouration. Laminate may be bubbled, may be marred with writing.
Record: Wear and defects will be more obvious with marks/scuffs deep enough to feel with a fingernail. Groove wear will be more noticeable. Sound deterioration will become more likely especially during quieter passages
