Goldmine Record Grading

Record: Very Good (VG)
What to expect: Very Good shows more obvious use, such as visible groove wear or light scratches. Goldmine allows audible surface noise at this grade, although this listing is visually graded unless play-testing is specifically stated.
Why this copy received this grade: Very Good (VG): Both sides are visible and retain some gloss, with scattered light scuffs/marks, visible dust, and surface wear apparent in the close-up photos. Labels appear intact.
Sleeve: Very Good (VG)
What to expect: A Very Good sleeve shows obvious normal handling wear such as ring wear, creasing, edge wear, writing or seam wear, while remaining serviceable.
Why this copy received this grade: Very Good (VG): Sleeve is structurally present with visible edge and corner wear; the black rear panel shows broad surface rubbing/scuffing.
