Mint (M)



Perfect Condition, which basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look untouched. Some argue that the only mint records are brand new unopened ones still in their original packing. Unless the Record is unplayed usually new I never use this grade, as I believe a truly mint record if we're talking an original 50's or 60's pressing is very rarely found.

Mint Minus
(M-)
Vinyl is near perfect. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips.Even if a record appears to be perfect, I will usually use the M- grade
Excellent (EX) Vinyl should still play with no skips of any kind. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality. This is the grade that I use for what many people consider M-
Very Good+
(VG+) This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. However, the record is still very listenable as there are no deep scratches that cause skips.
Very Good
(VG) Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present.

Good (VG-) Vinyl is well played and looks it. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves.

G+
(Good Plus)

The work Good in record collecting terms usually means "crap"  where the origin of using the work good instead of Bad comes from, I have no clue, but it's time honored & still stands!  This is my lowest grading & means that the record is in very poor condition, but will generally play OK, if it's a very rare 45 I will sell it in this condition even if it plays badly, On a more common record, I will only sell a G+ if it plays well, this kind of record may be perfect for a jukebox.
