We try not to list anything with warps, if a record has a playable warp this would be mentioned along with the grade.į Fair condition, marked and some problems. Heavily used, but playable is our general description of a G record. Could have heavy marks, be noisy to play, perhaps a more significant scratch. They are good enough to play, but you may well later want to replace with a better copy for your collection. These records are heavily played, possibly badly marked. These records will have lost their shine, perhaps dulled with age, they will have been well used. VG- Between VG and G, these records aren't in great condition, average amount of marks, but generally still fully playable. Perhaps not as shiny and new looking as a VG+ record. VG Very Good condition, normal wear, maybe a few very light marks, but still plays great. There may be a very light, but more significant mark on a VG+ record (though this would normally be mentioned along with the grade), generally this is a used record in very good condition, with light brush marks. This is the grade we get most correspondence from buyers about, most saying how to them this is an EX record, not VG+. VG+ This is a grade many buyers of perfect records avoid, but to us VG+ is the grade we give to a used but still very nice LP. ![]() All EX- records are Excellent, no scratches, warps or damage of any kind. Often records which we grade as EX look as they have never been played - but we don't know for sure.ĮX- Close to Excellent condition, usually we use EX- if there are light brush marks visible under our spotlight. No marks, scratches, warps, damage of any kind. Records graded as EX are immaculate, fantastic examples of the record in question. We don't use the term EX+ĮX Excellent condition, no noticeable marks and like new. We don't like using this grade on records unless we are certain they have never been played, ie, were purchased as brand new items, or the item is one of a multiple sold to us as unplayed. MINT As new condition, unplayed, often Sealed. If the grading shown above shows just the first initials (eg: VG/- ) then that means the record is graded, but comes with plain or company sleeve. Also check the large photos as they describe the sleeve condition better than a grade ever could.Įg: EX/EX = First EX refers to the record, the second the sleeve (if picture sleeve is included). If you disagree with our condition, simply return for a full refund. Our grading is a mixture of audio and visual grading, and very importantly, we guarantee you will be happy with our records. Other ebay sellers buy our records and relist them with higher grades! Our VG+ is the same as many other seller's EX+. If we grade anything EX, then it really is immaculate. Generally every buyer we have sold to has been happy with the condition of the record they bought.
