No matter if you're a collector of records or a seller, knowing how to grade records can be very useful. Vinyl records were originaly made of shellac filled with vinyl. As technology progressed, so did the make up of vinyl records. Eventually, companies used vinyl as their primary source for making records. Records are a fragile music source, but, if properly cared for, records will last much longer. Listed below is a record grading scale with the descriptions of each related to their specific grades.
Poor (P) - A record that will have deep scratches, gauges, and other defects. A record in this condition will not play without skipping. Only extremely rare records are sold in this condition.
Good (G) - A record that will show heavy play wear and may contain a few skips. A record in this condition will not bring more than $2.00-5.00, unless it's extremely rare.
Very Good (VG) - A record in this condition will show some signs of having been played, but will still contain much of it's original gloss. All in all an enjoyable record. A record in this condition may bring $10.00-15.00, unless it's extremely rare.
