CONDITION GUIDE · SLEEVE FIRST

KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE CHOOSING.

Choose the minimum sleeve condition. When we find a copy, we show the vinyl, sleeve, OBI and inserts separately—so you know exactly what you are approving.

JACKET CONDITION · VISUAL REFERENCE

Compare corners, edges, creasing and ring wear—not the artwork itself.

Illustrative comparison of record jackets from visibly worn to excellent

ILLUSTRATIVE REFERENCE These images explain typical jacket wear; they are not photos of the copy we will source. Actual-copy photos and separate vinyl and sleeve grades are provided when a record is found.

01
EX

EXCELLENT

Exceptionally well preserved.

Clean overall appearance with sharp corners and only very light signs of handling, such as faint edge wear or minor surface rubbing.

03
VG

VERY GOOD

Clearly used, still presentable.

Visible edge and corner wear, light creasing or ring wear, while the sleeve remains structurally sound.

04
G+

GOOD PLUS

Wear is part of its history.

Visible ring wear, rubbed edges, creases or small seam damage. The sleeve remains usable but is clearly worn.

NOT SURE?

VG+ IS THE
SWEET SPOT.

It keeps the Hunt realistic while still prioritising a clean, satisfying listening copy.
