Discogs grading on scale of 1-10

[chas_kit]

Discogs* grading on scale of 1-10:

11 – Mint : theoretical
9-10 – NM : roll d6: 1-3 subtract one, 4-5 subtract two, 6 subtract four
7-8 – VG+ : Clean. muffled thumps
4-6 – VG : "slight" warp. Static, cue burn, hiss and/or distortion likely present
3 – VG-/G+ : more ticks than the back yard
2 – Good, Fair : plays through with stylus grind
1 – Poor : chunk missing just start the side a few seconds in

* and not only Discogs

They've hijacked John Manship's grading system!

I've had some luck at times where the seller actually under graded all the 45s I ordered, but the next time I ordered from the same seller they were graded correctly. Yes, I have bought some over graded 45s, but worked it out with the seller. This was on Discogs.

Most DISCOGS (and even EBAY) vinyl graders now are no better than those "garage sale Clueless Connies" on ETSY.
You rolls the dice and takes yer chances...lol
