Grading

CD'S + TAPES: ALL OF THESE ITEMS COME FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION; MOST HAVE BEEN PLAYED JUST ONCE OR TWICE, IF NOT NEW AND STILL SEALED. NEW = THIS REFERS TO A PERFECT, UNMARKED CD OR STILL-SEALED TAPE M = BARELY USED, PLAYING SURFACE LIKE NEW NM OR EX = CD SURFACE MAY HAVE A TINY DUST-SIZED MARK; IF A CASSETTE TAPE, IT'S BARELY PLAYED AND LIKE NEW VG+/ VG = CD HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS; NOTHING MAJOR please note: occasionally special order "vg+" cd's have slight scuffs, but all will play perfectly G = A FEW MORE SURFACE MARKS THAN "VG", BUT STILL PLAYS PERFECTLY ACC = ACCEPTABLE (STILL PLAYS PERFECTLY, BUT TOO MANY MARKS TO CALL "GOOD" ~ WILL BE PRICED VERY LOW) MOST CASES FOR USED CD'S/TAPES ARE "NM", CASES MAY SHOW SOME MARKS FROM STORAGE =============================================================================== VHS TAPES: ALL VIDEO TAPES ARE NTSC (STANDARD IN AMERICA, CANADA, AND JAPAN) =============================================================================== POSTERS: MOST POSTERS WILL SHOW SOME "CRINKLING" FROM ROLLED STORAGE, AND MOST WILL HAVE A TINY THUMBTACK HOLE IN EACH OF THE FOUR CORNERS BESIDES THAT THEY ARE NEAR MINT (ANY OTHER IMPERFECTIONS WILL BE NOTED IF THEY EXIST). ================================================================================ T-SHIRTS/BANDANAS NEW = NEVER WASHED OR WORN M = LOOKS NEW, WASHED ONCE OR TWICE NM = ALMOST LIKE NEW, BUT WASHED JUST A FEW TIMES VG+ = SHIRT STARTING TO FADE SLIGHTLY, BUT NO CRACKS IN GRAPHICS OR LETTERING VG = A LITTLE MORE FADING; STILL IN NICE SHAPE OVERALL G = MORE SIGNIFICANT FADING OR MORE CRACKS IN GRAPHICS OR LETTERING; STILL LOOKS DECENT ACC = A WELL-WORN SHIRT, BUT STILL WEARABLE ================================================================================ AUTUMNFADES VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (MANY OF OUR RECORDS ARE NM, VG++, OR VG+, BEING FROM OUR OWN PERSONAL COLLECTIONS) we do our very best to give a concise and accurate description of all records and will note any specific flaws, please feel free to e-mail if you want us to take a second-look at a record before you buy, it's really no problem at all and we'll be glad to do it so you know what you're getting! RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT CLEAN WITH THE D4 DISCWASHER SYSTEM, THE OLD-SCHOOL WAY, AND HAVE BEEN VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. MOST HAVE ALSO BEEN CHECKED BY LISTENING CLOSELY UNDER HEADPHONES. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL VINYL RATED VG+ AND ABOVE ACTUALLY SOUNDS BETTER AND RICHER THAN THE DIGITALLY BROKEN-DOWN SOUND OF CD, ESPECIALLY WITH A GOOD NEEDLE AND LIGHT PRESSURE UPON THE RECORD. STILL SEALED (SS): NEVER OPENED OR PLAYED MINT (M): AS PERFECT AS AN LP CAN BE / PLAYED ONLY ONCE OR TWICE NEAR-MINT (NM OR M-): NEAR FLAWLESS; CLOSE TO PERFECT VERY GOOD ++ (VG++): VERY CLOSE TO NEAR-MINT; A VERY WELL-KEPT RECORD VERY GOOD + (VG+): NORMAL WEAR FROM CAREFUL PLAYING; MINIMAL NOISE VERY GOOD (VG): SLIGHTLY MORE NEEDLE NOISE THAN VG+, STILL PLAYS WELL GOOD (G): A LISTENABLE RECORD, BUT MULTIPLE LIGHT SURFACE MARKINGS AND NOTICEABLE SURFACE NOISE EXIST, STILL DOES NOT SKIP. NOTE: OUR "G" MAY BE LIKE ANOTHER SELLER'S "VG" OR "VG-" SO FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL FOR A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION, WE'LL BE GLAD TO DO IT! >>ALL RECORDS IN THIS CATEGORY WILL BE PRICED MUCH LOWER, UNLESS RARE<< ACC (ACC) : THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND "G" IS THAT "ACC" MAY SHOW LARGER OR DEEPER SCRATCHES, BUT NEVERTHELESS SHOULD PLAY OK, ALTHOUGH WITH SOME OBVIOUS SURFACE NOISE. PLAIN (PLN): THIS REFERS TO A PLAIN RECORD SLEEVE, USUALLY THAT OF 7"-45's POOR (P): WE USE THIS TO INDICATE THAT AN ALBUM COVER MAY BE FALLING APART, YET THE VINYL ITSELF STILL MAY PLAY FINE (PLEASE CHECK MEDIA GRADE). If the above policy leaves any doubts, please refer to GEMM's generally accepted Grading Standard
