More Details
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: Perfect, like new, pristine and unused. Absolutely no flaws of any kind. Very few records will make this rating.
Cover/Sleeve: Generally still sealed and mint. Not a flaw to be found. Very few old covers/sleeves will make this rating.
9. NEAR MINT -
Record: Would be considered mint, but has probably been played. Still looks like brand new.
Cover/Sleeve: Might show minuscule spots of wear at seam from handling or storing, but one would have to look very hard to see anything.
8. VERY FINE -
Record: Excellent condition and extremely clean. Record has been played, but there is not much evidence of use and certainly no scratches of any kind.
Cover/Sleeve shows only very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Printed surface is near mint and showing no wear.
7. FINE -
Record: Very nice example. 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.
Cover/Sleeve: Only the slightest of surface wear on surface and/or some very minor wear at seam and/or corners. Nothing to speak of.
6. VERY GOOD -
Record: Very light use from handling and possibility a few hairline scratches, but still nothing audible.
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.
5. GOOD -
Record: Light scratches in record could be audible, but nothing too bad. Still plays fine without too much noise
Cover/Sleeve: Still very presentable with some wear here and there, but nothing too serious. Some evidence of ring wear, but still light.
4. FAIR -
Record: Shows use. Scratches will be somewhat obvious when played.
Cover/Sleeve: Starting to show quite a bit of wear here and there, but still presentable. Tears at seams or creases on cover.
3 AND BELOW -
Pretty much trashed. Don't waste your money on these ratings, unless it is an extremely rare record.
