What you can expect based on my grading system. Mint - NO scratches, still shiny, same as new.  No fingerprints. NM - no scratches, maybe the slightest of scuffs, clean and overall near perfect Ex+ - More or less a record in great condition.  Minor scuffs that don't cause any issues. EX - Nice record, clean, with very few scuffs and maybe small scratches.   VG+  - minor scratches and some wear.....still shouldn't skip or cause any problems.  An occasional pop and minor hiss, but overall a super record worthy of any collection. VG - A fine record with some wear and scuffs .. It should be quite listenable and shouldn't cause any problems, but it's not perfect.  Overall it's going to be a fine record, but there will more than likely be some minor noise / crackle. G - I don't sill anything below VG online unless it's super rare and in demand in a lower grade.
