Grading:
Near Mint (NM or M-)
Vinyl
A nearly perfect record. A NM or M-
record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play
perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't
give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no
record is ever truly perfect. 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 any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases,
folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects.
The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves, etc.
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.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual
playback as a whole. 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. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and
inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or
a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may
be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if
not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near
Mint.
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced
in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in
soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not
overpower the music otherwise. 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, 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. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list
Very Good as the lowest price.
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played
through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise,
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 be present. While the record will be
playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will
almost certainly accompany the playback.
