Don't understand the grading on these VG+, VG++, EX, EX+, EX++?

Doe's EX++ = Mint? Etc, Etc...

Cheers

Yes , I've said it on here a million times , the EX grading should be banned completely , and any attempt to show a double ++ should be banned.

The EX grade is essentially a UK invention via Record Collector.

My British friends may moan all they like , but the US Goldmine system has long been the internationally accepted and most reasonable system.

The UK soul scene in particular does itself no credit whatsoever when UK record sellers don't recognise anything below a "Very Good" grade !!!! I know of many overseas soul collectors that have received records from UK sellers descibed as VG and looking like they were run over by a truck !!!! The result is that there is an increasing number of overseas collectors who quite simply no longer buy soul records from the UK.

Gradings should be as simple as this:

Mint minus (as new)

Very Good Plus (barest of handling marks , lightest of hairlines)

Very Good (minor scuffs and scratches)

Good (numerous scuffs and some scratches)

Fair (hammered but playable)

Poor (hammered)

Let the poison posts now begin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I've posted the list as is and will pass any interest in the records directly to the seller.

The grading must be VG, VG+, EX, M- with extra plus's if better or worse. I have to agree with you re his grading system - what the hell is the difference between a EX, EX+ and an EX++ ????????????????

From my point of view I say on my list that anything without a grade next to it is either M- or EX.

Then it's a straight VG+, VG & G.

I like the EX grade 'cos it really does mean it's a VERY clean record where as the VG+ banner is used too often for 'anything else' - could be great or could be sh*te.
