Vinyl Grading
Jett Rink Media uses the Goldmine Standard for grading our vinyl products. Please see the chart below and carefully check the vinyl grade in each product description before placing an order. Also, please look at the photographs of the cover and sleeves to judge the condition.
The Goldmine Standard grading system is as follows:
“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.
“M” Mint - a near-perfect, or unplayed record.
“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.
EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most discriminating collector.
EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.
VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of a few scuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise, but still plays great.
Good - In the record world, "Good" means beat-up records and Jett Rink Media doesn’t sell those!
