I use the Goldmine grading standard below are the grades and the description
Near
Mint (NM)
The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should
have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or
other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable
similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be
true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
Very Good Plus (VG+) A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very
light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps
that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely
noticeable.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned
up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear
also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it
was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very
Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be
more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing.
Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough
to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, have tape or stickers (or their residue)
attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it
will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of
them.
Good (G) A record in Good condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
I do my best to grade records accordingly but all gradings are subjective. Most records are play tested. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and I will answer any questions that you have.
