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.

Yes. The standard is from Goldmine magazine, which is for record collector's. Here is a link to one reprint of the grading system:
