*********GRADING INFORMATION*********

Generally, the records are visually graded, unless additional information indicates that they are play-graded.

GRADING SYSTEM:

FS / NM+ / NM / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G

where:

FS = Factory Sealed

NM = Near Mint

VG = Very Good

G = Good

My highest grade for a non-sealed record is NM. In case the record looks as new or unplayed, it will be graded as NM+.
