Grading
Record

SS: Still sealed: Record is in its original seal and has not been played.

EX: Excellent. The record has no marks or audible faults. It has been played, but well taken care of.

VG++: Very good plus plus. The record has been played regularly, but relatively carefully. There may be visual marks on the disc that are beginning to sound eg faint crackles on one or two tracks.

VG+: Very good plus. The record has been played regularly and is showing signs of wear . There will be visual marks, and surface scratches, thus there will be minor audible pop and crackles, but nothing serious.

VG: Very good. The record has been played many times, affecting the sound quality with pops and crackles, because of surface scratches and wear. Will be intrusive if the music is quiet, but will play.

VG- : Very good minus. The record has been played so much that the sound quality has begun to deteriorate from scratches, played with a poor needle or having been played obsessively.

G: Good. The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, possibly with distortion, or loud clicks from scratches.

F: Fair. Seriously damaged.

Returns
In the 25 years we've been in business, we tried to be very effective in our evaluation of records and sleeves conditions. We try to listen to every doubtful case. Errors are possible. In this case, we deal with each person individually. We appreciate that you communicate directly to see what are the possibilities and solutions.
