Notes**: New & Sealed. Because of its age, and the fact it has never been played, the tape will need to be loosened before being played. Please see our advise below about helping to prevent your tape deck from eating cassettes.
Note: Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable, however any damage to the case will be noted.
For cassette tapes, old and new, to help avoid your tape deck from "eating" your cassettes some of the following tips may be useful:
1) Give your cassettes a good spanking. Smack cassettes against the palm of your hand several times before playing. This will help loosen the tape.
2) Fast forward and rewind the cassette tape before playing a side. This will also help loosen the tape.
3) Keep you cassette heads clean. Typically cassette heads should be cleaned after every 40 hours of play.
* Most of the cassettes we offer are play graded, in combination with Goldmine standard guidelines as follows:
• Mint (M) J-Card is crisp, clean and perfect in every way. Likely sealed. Cassette is brand new, and professionally produced. Used sparingly as a grade, should be free of even the slightest blemishes and/or defects. This grade should be used sparingly, if at all.
• Near Mint (NM or M-) Sleeve should be totally crisp and clean with only the slightest evidence of handling. Tape is likely new, free of any wear or damage.
• Very Good Plus (VG+) Sleeve has slight wear, marks, indentations, and/or may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar). Tape has been taken very good care of and may have light marks or spindle wear. Should play cleanly with minimal noise or degradation.
• Very Good (VG) Sleeve will contain more wear, marks, and/or indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing. Shell may have heavier marks and wear than VG including plastic discoloration. Should play with some stronger hiss or degradation, but not enough to overpower music.
• Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Sleeve will be well worn, marked, and contain obvious indentations, fading, and/or writing, more so than a VG grade - possibly a more significant tear/rip. Tape will have heavy wear on shell. Felt stopper may be missing. Tape may have minor creasing, but not broken. Must play through, may have heavier degradation that will overpower music.
• Poor (P), Fair (F) Sleeve will be torn, heavily stained, showing general heavy damage, or will be partially missing. Likewise, tape will be heavily damaged, showing complete fading on the face, crinkled tape, missing screws or teeth, staining, and other heavy wear. Cassette will more than likely not play through.
