_______________________________________________________________________
PACKING & SHIPPING—I package each record to avoid bent corners and seam splits. Here’s how:
* All records are packaged in new vinyl mailer boxes and assembled using a variation of bubble wrap, shrink and cardboard flats.
* ALL records are put inside a 2-3 mm clear sleeve. (I use the soft sleeves, not the ones that sound like you’re opening a bag of Doritos when you work with them.)
* If the record is used or open, the vinyl and its inner sleeve will always be shipped outside the jacket but inside the same clear sleeve.
* I reinforce the corners of each box mailer (no matter what size it is) by using cardboard “planks” secured to each corner around the edge to prevent damage when tossed around in the mail. This makes a difference.
OTHER ANSWERS to POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
• If a used record I’m selling includes a custom inner sleeve its lyrics or any other ephemera, I will show them in the picture (one exception: I always forget download cards. So if they are important to you, just ask.
* If you only see the record and the jacket, you can assume the one listed will come with a general sleeve. (I’ll never send you an LP without some kind of inner sleeve.
RATING RECORDS 101
• Mint (M)— Absolutely perfect in every way. This record has never been played, likely still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all. I have listed records for sale and in my brick and mortar store at this rating, but this year I am going to move away from this practice and use it sparingly. Records that are M can easily become NM just from moving them from record bin to bin as a corner might get caught or incur a tiny corner sliver of a bend. If at all, my overstock of records that are not put in the store’s general collection will be listed at this rating from time to time, especially if I visually inspect it and designate it for back room storage. These are records I often reserve for my serious collectors who want perfection. But even with sealed records, perfection is hard to obtain when 1) I cannot see it and 2) I had no say in the center label that was placed on the vinyl or how careful it was handled on the spindle when it was pressed.
• Near Mint (NM) This record is nearly perfect. This and VG+ are the majority of my stock in both new and used pieces. The record will show no obvious signs of wear. It it’s a 45 RPM or EP sleeve, it will show no more than the most minor defects that includes almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An original inner jacket LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same applies to rating any other artifacts included in the package like original inserts that are dye-cut or feature lyrics. posters, lyric one-sheets and the like. An LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. NOTE: Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
• Very Good Plus (VG+) A Very Good Plus record shows signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are are OK here. This is where I differ from Goldmine’s grading. They believe the center label should show little sign of wear. I agree up to a point, but most labels applied at pressing plants are never perfect and generally come with “cracks and splinters” in the sticker from the center hole. I have had new perfect records in every way but here. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves at this grade and have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. This LP cover may show slight signs of wear also and might include a cut-out hole, indentation or corner cut that indicates it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. Please note that not all holes in vinyl records mean they were a cutout. I received many promos from the mid ’80s that included a hole punch in the sleeve before the gold-foil stamp with promo verbiage was adopted and more widely used. Remember that not for a couple things wrong with the record, it would bean NM. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a VG+ record highly acceptable.
• Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or jacket. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade; , but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred with a previous owner’s writing or have tape, stickers, or their residue attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
• Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean bad, as some rookies have often been told by vinyl snobs. A G or G+ or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches with visible groove wear. A G or G+ jacket or inner sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects may overwhelm the object.
• Poor (P), Fair (F) This record can be cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve might have water damage, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover may barely keep the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon. On occasion, I will obtain a VG+ vinyl disc with a cover that is toast due to some flooding or other unforeseen disaster. And given the opposite is often true (a toasted record and a VG+ cover), I will offer the vinyl disc for sale on occasion.
