| Welcome to TOSCA Records. I'm an avid LP collector myself with some 7000 LPs and growing. All of the records featured here and in the future listings are from my personal collection and are either duplicates or records I no longer listen to or LPs that I found an upgrade to. If you are "mint crazy" you can only be pleased with sealed records, if, however, you primarily listen to the music and aren't just collecting because records might be worth something you've come to the right place as collection is bound to please most music lovers. Most (80%) of the records listed have been play graded on a Technics SL1200 MK5/Ortofon cartridge and listened through Senheiser headphones, therefore, my grades are very strict and are given a number 1-10. Most are in 8-9 range, a 10 is only given to a record that was sealed and opened by me. Almost all the records are M- and EX, they have all been cleaned and covers have been cleaned as well.. We use Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide, it is essentially the same as Goldmine except for VG+ grade. Simply, substitute Goldmine VG+ for our EX! Our goal is to give it the lowest possible grade while remaining somewhat objective, in other words, "we down-grade our records so you don't have to". In most cases, we are paranoid about grading, for those of you whose grading paranoia is even greater, we offer full refund upon return. Thank you for visiting! |
