Aye MINT is certainly a magic wurd
Most the stuff i've bought off discogs that's been listed as mint is far from it, visual inspection alone is no indicator and in my view unless a seller has actually played the LP for sale should not be allowed to give a grade to the vinyl and mark it for sale as visually inspected only
As the late Colonel Sanders once said

Is that the same as people with money to burn causing prices to rise in the process?
