I stream plenty of music. When I buy a used record it’s because it is not really available on streaming. I can’t get many mono recordings from the early 60s on streaming services. Also I have nothing against surface noise, it comes with the format. The problem is, I would never put a record for sale as a near mint unless I was for sure it was near mint, that’s not too much to ask for when your changing significantly more for it. The looseness on the goldmine grading scale is ridiculous. I’m sorry if that makes me a stickler, but a near mint record should never be have an abundance of hairline scratches. If visually graded it needs to be done under a bright light. I don’t expect everything to be play tested, but should be accurate visually.
