RARE45RECORDS.COM GRADING SCALE

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Most Items Are Only Visually Inspected. Some records have sound flaws without being visible, but this is very rare. We DO NOT clean the records, so most of the pictures are of uncleaned records. MOST RECORDS, ONCE CLEANED, MAY BE / PROBABLY ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN WHAT WE HAVE GRADED THEM!! (as we tend to grade down)

2. Record condition and sleeve/cover conditions are graded seperately. (in item descriptions)

STILL SEALED - Brand New Never Opened

MINT - WE ONLY USE THIS GRADE FOR STILL SEALED ITEMS (we believe that if a record has been opened it inevitably has something somone would consider a flaw)

FROM: - The record itself is in like brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in near perfect condition. (unless otherwise noted)
