We’re joined by our friend and record maven Amanda Schutzman to continue our discussion around collecting. From growing up around records to working in record stores like Needle and Groove, and Generation Records to being the Co-Organizer of the Vinyl Revolution Record Show, and her day job at All Media Supply she literally does it all. Amanda joined us as our very first podcast guest, so we thought after passing our one year mark, it would be fun to have her back to talk more in depth about the thing she knows the ins and outs of like no other - buying, selling, and grading records. What is Near Mint really? How do you differentiate between VG, VG+ and just plain G? Grab a record, open up your Discogs and break out those magnifying glasses, let’s get to grading! Trust us, this episode is still sealed, and will retain its inherent value for years to come.

*Note: we will be taking a summer podcast break starting in June and back in September. We hope you spend this time catching up on previous episodes. In the meantime, find us on social media, patreon, or email to keep in touch and suggest topics you want to learn more about!
