All records are removed from the outer cover and kept in their inner sleeve when posting to prevent any seem splits. I only use strong cardboard vinyl boxes when posting to ensure a safe delivery. 

New | Mint | Near Mint | Excellent | 

New [N]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Mint [M]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Near Mint [NM]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took excellent care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. 

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my 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.

In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Mint. All but the most crazy collectors will find a near mint record highly acceptable.

Excellent[E]: Many of the defects found in a NM record are more pronounced in a E disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail that might affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or 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.
