Grading Scale
| Sealed | Jacket sealed shut in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is". |
| NM | Appears unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade. |
| VG++ | May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. |
| VG+ | A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks. |
| VG | Same imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. Records graded VG and above will typically not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. |
| VG- | A number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a VG- grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. |
| G | Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range. |
*All records are visually graded by our experienced staff, using a bright lamp and a well-calibrated turntable.
