This is a brief overview, for in-depth info on our grading system, including definitions of each grade, please check out our Grading Guide.
Every pre-owned record goes through a proprietary 4-point processing system beginning with an ultrasonic bath using distilled water and Tergikleen, double-rinsed in a second ultrasonic bath of distilled water, vacuum dried, then visually graded.
Once professionally cleaned, records are graded conservatively according to the Goldmine Standard. Our Master Grader, who has collected records for over 30 years, personally grades each record under bright light after it has been ultrasonically cleaned and then dried. This includes a proprietary inspection process that looks for hairline marks, scuffs and other important condition factors.
