Vinyl Record Grading Standards (Key Factors Affecting Second-Hand Vinyl Record Prices)

When buying and selling second-hand Beyond vinyl records, the condition of the record (grade) is a core factor in determining the final resale price. Below are the professional assessment reference standards of our physical store:

Grading Record Surface Condition Sleeve and Accessory Condition Impact on Resale Price
Mint (M) Unopened, or opened but never played, perfect disc surface without any blemishes or play marks. Perfect sleeve, no creases or fading, original accessories such as posters/lyric sheets complete and like new. Highest premium acquisition, a collectible level with significant investment value.
Near Mint (NM) Played very few times, pristine disc surface, possibly only very light paper scuffs that do not affect sound quality. Sleeve nearly perfect, no obvious corner wear, no yellowing, complete accessories. High-price quality acquisition, the most popular grade among collectors.
Very Good Plus (VG+) Normal play marks, slight scratches on the disc surface, possibly very slight surface noise in quiet passages, but not overwhelming the music. Sleeve may have slight indentations, minor corner wear or natural age-related yellowing. Acquired at standard market price, the most common condition in the market.
Very Good (VG) Disc surface has obvious scratches or signs of age, audible surface noise or "crackle" during playback, but no skipping. Sleeve has obvious wear, tears, water stains, fading, or some accessories may be missing. Discounted evaluation will be based on the rarity of the record (e.g., limited edition, promo disc).

"Days Gone By" is a classic Cantonese song by the Hong Kong rock band Beyond, composed and written by Wong Ka Kui, included in the album "Party of Fate" released in September 1990. Through its heartfelt melody and sincere lyrics, the song expresses nostalgia for beautiful past times and infinite yearning for the future.

"Days Gone By" was created in 1990, when Beyond was on the rise in their career, but the members also began to feel the passage of time and changes in life. Through this song, Wong Ka Kui reflected on the past, expressing nostalgia for the beautiful times that had passed and looking forward to the future.

How to Properly Preserve Your 45 RPM Vinyl Records to Maintain Value?

If you're not ready to part with your collection yet, we recommend the following methods to protect your cherished items, ensuring they retain their best value when trading and appraising old records in the future:

  • Always store vertically: Vinyl records must be stored upright like books, never stacked horizontally, to prevent the records from deforming (warping) due to gravity.
  • Control temperature and humidity: Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight which can cause sleeve fading and record melting and deformation. It is recommended to maintain relative humidity between 40%-50% in the storage environment to prevent mold.
  • Upgrade to anti-static inner sleeves: It is recommended to properly store the original paper inner sleeves and use anti-static half-round bottom plastic inner sleeves for the records, which can significantly reduce minor scratches caused by daily handling.

What type of vinyl record?

Vinyl records were the dominant music format in the 20th century. Because vinyl records offer the closest sound quality to the original audio without distortion, they provide a more authentic and perfect listening experience, appealing to people of all ages.

Value of vinyl

The same vinyl record released in different years not only has different disc cores, but also different record thickness, width and depth of the grooves, and order, so the sound will naturally be different.
