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.

MMint — perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely.
NMNear 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.
VGVery Good — visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music.
G+ / GGood — plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly.
F / PFair / 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.
