M - Like new 

EX+   Nice…, but not m-
 
EX   Some cover wear which will be described in somedetail.  At least a visual mark on the vinyl but light in nature andshould play okay though there could be light surfacesound                                                                                                        

VG+ Seam splits , ringwear, cover wear,small sticker tears etc. can come into play. On the vinyl there may be visualmarks (eg. scuffs, hairline scratches). There can be some background surfacesound.

VG   More wear on covers and morewear on LPs (multiple marks). Most likely surface sounds though the LPsmay rise above the music should be able to play without skipping orrepeating.

Fair Used only withcovers. At this point the cover is in rough condition.
