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.
