Thanks for your response Jazz. I do understand that the previous life will have a dramatic effect on the condition of the album and this is specifically why I am searching for a seller who does listen to the album before grading it. You can take a record that appears perfect visually and put it under a SEM or 400X steroscope and reveal the catastrophe that your ears hear only through listening.
I'm not referring to whether the recording is well done but rather; has the vinyl sustained damage through dirt or excessively heavy or light tracking weights, etc.
