GRADING SPECIFICATIONS (please read carefully before placing any order)
As there is some variation on how Discogs s interpret the grading system, here is how we grade our LP’s.
• M: Always sealed, no exceptions. We recommend buyers to instruct, for a shield record to be opened in order to avoid the unlike case of a wrong product. In any case, product returns are accepted if the buyer is not satisfied, and partial or full refunding can be arranged, through Paypal guidelines' environment.
• NM: While not sealed, the record looks and sounds like it most likely has never been played, or was played once or twice at most. The record has no visible marks or scratches, and it is on the whole a flawless copy.
• VG+: means very, VERY little to zero surface noise. A VG+ record may be close to NM (one or two marks or scuffs preventing it from receiving a NM grade) or may just be a very clean copy all around with minor imperfections.
• VG: VG is broken down into two categories: Class_A and Class_B. A <Class_B> VG copy will have very few noticeable marks/scratches/scuffs, some rare tics and generally look like it has been played a bit. A <Class_A> VG copy, on the other hand, has light surface noise which at times is barely audible, but also has marks, which prevents the record from receiving a VG+ grade. In general, a <Class_A> VG copy will not have as many marks as a <Class_B> VG copy and will on the whole be close to a VG+ grading.
• G+: Records in this category have intrusive surface noise but are still very playable and listenable. However, there will be many signs of wear, from visible scratches, marks, and scuffs. We give also this grade, if a transverse deep scratch appears only on one track (song), so that constant ticking (without skipping) is audible through the whole song playing. (no matter if the rest of the LP is VG+).
• G: see as G+ above; with more than one deep scratch appear to several tracks.
• F: An <F>, very few (1-2) skips, or looping defects, which is always commented in the marketplace, even though the rest of the record could be perfect.

We do not sell Poor (P) records.

Sleeve Grading
DEFECTS OBSERVED
• Minor/Major Seam and Ring Wear
• Minor/Major Seam Split
• Minor/Major Crease
• Minor/Major Writing
• Minor/Major paper scratches from moisture or tag prices detached.
• Minor/Major Moisture, impact on sleeve deformation.

• M: means none of the above and sealed (there is sometimes the possibility to have a small sleeve crease under the sealing slide, as this item initially been purchased or due to aged shelving, in such a case the Buyer is informed before the invoice to be sent, if this is forgotten to be commented in the Marketplace.
• NM: means, none of the above but not sealed (usually the slide remains but open)
• VG+: means up to two minor defects combination, it is also noted, that a VG+ sleeve can have stickers or price tags in good condition, since many old records have not been purchased as sealed from scratch.
• VG: means up to three minor defects combination, or just one major defect.
• G+/G/F: means we increase the combination of major/minor defects in respect to the grading scale.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For CD’s
• M: unplayed or could be played just once as a test. For CD cover, Mint means always sealed, therefore in this case media is also Mint (case_1 of paragraph 3 is applicable accordingly)
• NM: could be played a few times in the past, but there are no marks, scuffs etc on the media surface. The cover is at an excellent condition, but some CDs can include stickers, tag prices, or left identification taping, as these CDs initially been purchased.
• [VG+ or VG]: plays perfect, but there are [few or many] signs of marking on the media surface.
• We do not sell G+/G/F/P media condition CDs (see also paragraph 7 above as applied also for this case)
• A <VG+> CD cover can have just a cut hole or a light tear crack on the cover plastic. A <VG> cover has both. Covers with major cracks on the cover, or cracked seam jacks are always graded as Fair (F).
