This is my Boxer (Tigerz) at 5 months. Head of Security.

I have been a collector of Albums for over 20 years and Coins for several years.  I have seen all the tape formats come and go. Some still have a following and that’s cool.  For me LPs has been the way to go.  I was still playing LPs when some considered it uncool.  The albums I sell are from lots I have purchased and I have duplicates or just something I am not into.  I try my best to only offer very clean recordings.  As an audiophile I know how important that is to you and to me.  I wish I could play every record before offering them for sale but that is not feasible after all these are hard times and allot of us including me have more than one job.  I really try my best to be fair and also keep cost to a minimum. 

Coins are also one of my passions, my goal will be to bring to you high quality coins and bullion at the best price possible.  I am a very small operation, so sometimes its hard to compete with the Big Guys as far as price goes.  I hope if thats the case (or give me a chance to beat it)  you still come to me for the personal service I strive to give each and every customer and you can't but a price on that, just check my feedback.  I give myself two days to ship but most ship with in one day excluding weekends.    Thank You for visiting my page.

  If you are not pleased, let me know via e-mail, and I'll work to make it right.

Mint (M)	Perfect Condition, which basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look untouched. Some argue that the only mint records are brand new unopened ones still in their original packing.
Near Mint (NM)	Vinyl is near perfect. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no "ring wear" on the cover. (Ring wear is when the outline of the record inside shows through the sleeve.)
Excellent (EX or VG++)	Vinyl should still play with no skips of any kind. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality. The record sleeve can have some minor ring wear but it should be mostly in good shape. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams.
Very Good+ (VG+)	This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. However, the record is still very listenable as there are no deep scratches that cause skips. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.
Very Good (VG)	Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but the cover should for the most part still be in good condition.
Good (VG-)	Vinyl is well played and looks it. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of records he or she collects. A rock record may still sound ok at a high volume, but quieter styles of music will be practically unlistenable. The record cover may have many problems including seam splits, tears, and writing on it.
Fair/Poor (F/P)	Using the word fair for this quality of record is, in the opinion of RCR, too generous and not recommended since it may be misleading. Records described as fair (F) or Poor (P) in the Goldmine grading system are ones that are basically unlistenable. Surface noise, skips and pops make hearing what's on the record nearly impossible, if not completely impossible. The cover is falling apart, torn, and has writing all over it. The only reason to keep it would be if the record is extremely rare or you want to eventually melt the vinyl and shape it into an ashtray.
