To maintain our uncompromising grading integrity and preserve the delicate nature of physical media all vinyl record sales are final. Because our curators double inspect every copy under high intensity light and play test rare releases to verify audio fidelity we guarantee the exact condition and authenticity described before it leaves our vault.
We recommend gently wiping the record with a carbon fiber anti static brush before and after every playback to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning always use specialized alcohol free record cleaning fluid and a microfiber cloth wiping in a gentle circular motion following the grooves.
We strictly adhere to the Goldmine Grading Standard. Every archive copy is meticulously inspected under high intensity light. Any pre owned or rare import pressings are professionally play tested to guarantee the exact audio fidelity and grade described.
