Is there a Guide Available to Grading LP's.


First I would like to wish everyone a very merry christmas and hope the new year brings much happiness.

To the question at hand, when buying LP's they are graded as Mint, near mint, VG++ and so on.
Is there a guide or chart available for the buyer so we know just what were buying? It's some what confusing when reading the music ads as to the grading of the lp's.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Rick.

I'd only buy from those that grade using the strict Goldmine standards. If they don't know what Goldmine is, chances are, (they haven't a clue), they will misgrade, and won't have any idea as to grading in general.

Just my experience with 20 years buying from paper set sale and auction lists.
