CODES & GRADES
Of Used Items

Conditions of Items and Key to Abbreviations

Okay, so what do all those wacky codes mean????

All items are graded strictly and visually.
Some have been play graded.
Items are graded first, then the cover.
If only one grade is listed, it pertains to both.

All items are Mint Minus (m-) and Stereo unless indicated otherwise

    m- = Our top grade for opened records, like new.
    vg++ = A couple of light scratches or scuffs, slight cover wear
    vg+ = A few more scratches and wear, but still very desirable
    vg = More audible noise and a good deal of cover wear
    g(any) = Very well worn, disc very noisy, cover tattered

Please note: All radio show CD’s are used as they get played by radio stations. Their plastic coatings, therefore, may have scuffs on them. 99% of them will play fine.
