Most items are visually graded, but I play-grade if in doubt. Grading is conservative and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Cover and disc are in the same grade unless otherwise specified. Mono/Stereo is only specified on items that exist both ways, but I have always tried to note if an item is in Electronic Stereo. CDs that are not specified as Still Sealed are open, but like new. If you have any questions, please email.
