All records are graded primarily through careful visual inspection under bright lighting. If any noticeable scratches are found, we will also check playback and make an overall assessment. Please note that grading is inherently subjective, and as these are used records, individual perceptions of condition may vary slightly. We appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions about a specific item or would like further details regarding its condition, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Additionally, we use “+” and “−” to indicate more precise grading. For cover condition, we note any damage that may not be visible in the photos; however, please review the product photos carefully before purchasing.
