| Magus Music - Vinyl Grading System |
|
MINT (M): Record shows no evidence of having been played. Vinyl/sleeve in perfect, brand new condition. No secondhand records can make this grade.
NEAR MINT (NM): Record shows little sign of having been played. Vinyl/sleeve is in superb condition. My highest grade for secondhand vinyl.
EXCELLENT (EX): Record has been played a few times but has been well looked after. Vinyl has the odd light surface mark but there is no significant lessening of sound quality. Sleeve may have some slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): Record has been played a number of times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite some visible marks / mild scratches. Any surface noise is occassional or light. Sleeve will have some normal wear and tear without any major defects.
GOOD (G): While the record still plays OK, the vinyl will have a lot of surface marks/ light scratches and there is regular and noticeable surface noise. Sleeve and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing and/ or edge splits, discoloration etc.
FAIR (F): Vinyl will have bad scratches and maybe jump or stick. Records in this condition will be collection-fillers only. The sleeve has major damage.
THESE GRADES WILL SOMETIMES BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH +/- TO PROVIDE MORE ACCURACY | |
