Rating System

Sealed Our highest grade--never opened.
m- Like new--unplayed or seldom played. Labels are clean. No defects unless noted.
vg++ A copy we would like to call 'm-' but, because of a minor flaw, it does not quite make the grade.
vg+ A nice clean copy with perhaps a few light marks (surface), minor wear. A well cared for piece.
Clean or
strong vg
Looks like a vg+ or better but has small scratch or defect that lowers overall grade.
vg An average record. May have light scratches, has seen a lot of play or possibly been left unsleeved. Still very enjoyable to listen to. Has no major scratches or defects.
vg- A record that plays through but with surface noise and/or pops sometimes equal to the music level. Other defects noted.
gd It'll do to fill that hole in your collection.
All records are visually graded using a direct, halogen light source.
