Our grading system is based on The Official Price Guide to Records by Jerry Osborne. Here is a rundown of what the grades mean according to the price guide - Note: our grades are based on the condition of the record not the cover unless the cover is related to the value of the record.

SS. STILL SEALED
10. MINT
 9. NEAR-MINT

MINT: A mint item must be absolutely perfect. Nothing less can be honestly described as mint. Even brand new purchases can easily be flawed in some manner and not qualify as mint. To allow for tiny blemishes, the highest grade used on our site is near-mint. An absolutely pristine mint, or still sealed, item may carry a slight premium above the near-mint range.

8. Better than VG but below NM
7. VERY GOOD

VERY GOOD: Records in very good condition should have a minimum of visual or audible imperfections, which should not detract much from your enjoyment of owning them. This grade is halfway between good and near-mint.

6. Better than G but below VG
5. GOOD

GOOD: Practically speaking, the grade of good means that the item may be good enough to filla gap in your collection untila better copy becomes available. Good condition merchandise will show definitive signs of wear and tear, probably evidencing that no protective care was given the item. Even so, records in good condition should play all the way through without skipping

4. Better than POOR but below G
3. POOR
2. Really trashed
1. It hurts to think about it
