RECORD COLLECTOR’S GRADING SYSTEM 

GENERIC –Plain white/black sleeve or a sleeve that is not the original issued with the single.

MINT/NEW- Record itself is in 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 perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed would be classed as mint. 

EXCELLENT- Record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging may have slight wear or creasing. 

VERY GOOD - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items. Without any major defects is acceptable. 

GOOD - The record has been played so much that the sound has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration…etc. 

FAIR - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be torn, slightly stained and/or defaced.

POOR - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
