I visually inspect each album.  If you are interested in an album and would like me to test-play it, just ask and I'll be happy to do it.

ALBUM GRADING

SEALED = Album has never been opened or played

MINT = May be opened (or never sealed) but looks unused

NEAR MINT = Just short of mint, virtually no marks

EXCELLENT = Shows light use, may have a couple light scuffs  that shouldn't be noticeable when played

VERY GOOD = Shows normal use (not abuse), may have moderate scuffs and scratches that cause some mild surface noise, but not so bad that it keeps you from enjoying the album

FAIR = This record is basically worn out but may still be playable.   Unless it is very rare, I won't sell an album in this grade.

ALBUM COVER GRADING

SEALED = Cover has never been opened

MINT = May have been opened (or never sealed) but looks like new

NEAR MINT = Shows minor signs of handling

EXCELLENT = Shows normal light handling, but no splits in seams or other serious aesthetic problems.  May have some light wear on edges and corners, and may have light ringwear from the album

VERY GOOD = Shows considerable handling (not abuse), may have small to medium split seams or clear tape repairs, may have scuffs and minor creases, may have moderate to heavy ringwear, may have some writing.  A decent looking album but one that was obviously used.

FAIR = Shows heavy use, large seam splits, significant writing or graffiti, heavy ring wear, and/or has other serious problems that make it aesthetically unpleasing and is only useful to protect the album
