We follow the Goldmine standard and assess the record, sleeve and obi separately. If a copy falls between two grades, we use the lower one. See the condition guide for the full scale and inspection process.

Media describes the record; Sleeve describes the jacket. They are graded separately. See the record grades and sleeve grades.

Included obi, inserts and other extras are named in the product description and shown in the photographs. If the description does not mention an obi, it is not included. Read about obi and inserts.

Returns are accepted for damage in transit or an incorrect item. A record that matches its stated grade is generally not returnable. Check the refund policy for the contact deadline and return requirements.
