Record grading guide
Every record is graded visually, and play-tested when in doubt, using the Goldmine standard, the same scale used by Discogs sellers worldwide. Media and sleeve are always graded separately.
| M | Mint: perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely. |
|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint: looks barely played. No visible marks, plays clean. |
| VG+ | Very Good Plus: light signs of use, minor sleeve wear. Plays great, our most common grade. |
| VG | Very Good: visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music. |
| G+ / G | Good: plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly. |
| F / P | Fair / Poor: filler or collector copies only. Always described in the notes. |
Anything worth mentioning that the grade doesn't capture is in the seller notes on each listing.
