Once again, and I can't stress this topic enough...as an avid collector of all vinyl records, it is the condition that they are in which is most important to collectors. Grading of records vary from dealer to dealer. Who wants a record that is unplayable? A good way to start is to look up some of your artists on E-Bay & compare your quality of disc with what they are selling for. This will give you a general idea of their worth, most people desire mint or near mint condition.
