Grading Scale and Value Percentages 

At Glitter Records, we use a comprehensive grading system to assess the condition of sound recordings, ensuring that the evaluations are objective and fair. Our grading scale, which ranges from Mint (M) to Poor (P), is based on specific criteria reflecting the physical condition and playability of each item and its cover. 

Vinyl Grading
