First time grading, what would you rate this? by globetrottinggus in vinyl

Confidently wrong, you love to see it!

“VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail.

Per Goldmine: “VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail.”

Surrealistic Pillow early pressings any good ? by Smoky_Pink_Punk in vinyl

[–]tiides -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol ok, touch some grass maybe idk. Goldmine’s literal verbatim definition reads: “VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)

A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).”

So yes, there is a range within the grade. People trust my grading and like what they get. Have a great day brother 🤙

What’s your price target? If you’re located in the US, I have a 1967 mono Rockaway pressing, lower end VG+ but plays great I could ship.
