"Goldmine" Standard Condition Definitions:- Vinyl Grading: Mint (M) : Definition : The record is in perfect condition, with no signs of wear or damage. It looks as if it was just pressed, with no scuffs, scratches, or warping. Usage : Rarely used, as most records will have some imperfections, even if unplayed. Near Mint (NM or M-) : Definition : The vinyl shows no obvious signs of wear. It may have been played once or twice, but it retains its full glossy shine and has no visible marks or scratches. Usage : A near-mint record looks almost like new but isn't sealed. Very Good Plus (VG+) : Definition : The record shows some signs of wear but has been well cared for. Light scratches or scuffs may be present, but they do not significantly affect play. The sound quality may have slight background noise, especially in quieter passages, but it still plays well. Usage : VG+ is often the highest grade a used record will receive. Very Good (VG) : Definition : The vinyl shows more pronounced signs of wear and has surface noise throughout, noticeable during softer moments but doesn't overpower the music. There may be visible scratches and scuffs that can be felt with a fingernail. Usage : VG records are playable but with more audible imperfections. Good Plus (G+) / Good (G) : Definition : The record has significant wear, including visible scratches, scuffs, and possibly even warping. The surface noise is present throughout but does not render the record unplayable. However, the listening experience is considerably impacted. Usage : This grade is usually reserved for records that are heavily used but still functionally playable. Fair (F) / Poor (P) : Definition : The record is in very bad condition. It might be cracked, badly warped, or have significant skipping issues. The sound quality is poor, with overpowering surface noise, pops, and clicks. Usage : Typically used for records that are of historical or rare interest but are no longer desirable for playing. Sleeve Grading: Mint (M) : Definition : The sleeve is in perfect, factory-fresh condition. No corner dings, marks, ring wear, creases, or splits. This grade is rarely used unless the cover is still sealed. Near Mint (NM or M-) : Definition : The sleeve is almost perfect. It may have one or two very slight imperfections, such as a light crease or very minor corner wear, but no major flaws. Usage : Most covers in this grade look almost new but might show very slight handling signs. Very Good Plus (VG+) : Definition : The sleeve shows some light wear, such as minor ring wear, slight corner creases, or faint discoloration. There may be slight seam splits or edge wear, but nothing too drastic. Usage : A VG+ sleeve still looks good but shows more signs of handling. Very Good (VG) : Definition : The sleeve has more significant wear, such as prominent ring wear, larger creases, or more noticeable seam splits. There may be writing, stickers, or other marks on the cover. Usage : VG sleeves are still intact and functional but are clearly used. Good Plus (G+) / Good (G) : Definition : The sleeve has heavy wear, including extensive ring wear, large seam splits, and significant creases. There may be major discoloration, tears, or writing on the cover. Usage : G+ or G covers are heavily worn but still hold the record. Fair (F) / Poor (P) : Definition : The sleeve is in very bad shape. It might be torn, heavily stained, have large seam splits, or be missing parts. In some cases, the sleeve might be almost entirely destroyed. Usage : These covers are usually only kept for the record's historical significance or rarity, not for display or protection purposes.
