RECORD AND COVER RATING GUIDE:
Most of our records and covers will fall in the 8, 9 & 10 rating. We don’t deal in anything less than a #6 unless it is REAL rare.
10. MINT - Record and cover/sleeve are perfect, like new, pristine and unused. Absolutely no flaws of any kind. Generally still sealed. Very few old records or covers/sleeves will make this rating.
9. NEAR MINT - Would be considered mint, except records in this rating, possibly have been played, but still look like brand new. Cover/sleeve might show minuscule spots of wear at seam, but one would have to look very hard to see anything.
8. VERY FINE - Excellent condition and very clean. Cover/sleeve shows only very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Record has been played, but there is not much evidence of use and certainly no scratches.
7. FINE - Very nice example. Only the slightest of surface wear on cover and/or some very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Record may show very minor use, possibility a minor hairline or two, but not audible. What most people call mint usually falls into this rating.
6. VERY GOOD - Cover/sleeve may have light wear at seam, corners, and possibly a small crease, scratch or a light smudge on surface, but very minor. Faint evidence of ring wear possibly starting to show. Record may show very light use from handling and a few hairline scratches, but still nothing audible.
5. GOOD - Cover/sleeve is still very presentable with some wear here and there, but nothing too serious. Still looks good in a frame. Ring wear still light, but becoming more evident. Light scratches in record could be audible, but nothing too bad.
4. FAIR - starting to show quite a bit of wear here and there, but still presentable. Possible tears at seams. Record shows use with scratches that will be somewhat obvious when played.
3 AND BELOW - Pretty much trashed. Don't waste your money.
