Vinyl is very clean and grades at least VG+ or better. Cover is pictured with the worst of the imperfections highlighted. No Splits. Vinyl is graded according to Goldmine Standards. I am not a vinyl expert, but I do my best to give you an accurate account of what you are buying. If there is any doubt I use a grade a step lower to make sure my grade is fair. Please ask if you have any questions as I want you to be sure of what you are buying.
