DISC (VINYL) GRADES
SS
(STILL SEALED)
Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed
to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is
actually opened and the disc examined.
M
(MINT)
Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise
indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches
or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this
grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the
paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.
NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)
This is highest grade that I will assign to
opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and
shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but
no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is
bright, clean and unmarked.
E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor
paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can
possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or
affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.
VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches
and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still
have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or
initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.
VG
(VERY GOOD)
Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs
that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There
will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may
have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily
legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.
G
(GOOD)
Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper
scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops,
cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without
any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR)
Unless the record is particularly rare, I would
not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise,
surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these
discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a
collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one
comes along.
ALBUM COVER GRADES
SS
(STILL SEALED)
Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.
M
(MINT)
Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks,
tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should
appear as if a record has never been inside.
NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)
Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.
E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++)
Minor disc impression or slight corner creases,
no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is
clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.
VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)
Cover is clean but may have minor writing or
marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring
wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that
resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight
discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears.
Corners may have small creases or fraying.
VG
(VERY GOOD)
Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting
to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. (I
use special archival-quality, non-yellowing, clear tape for all
repairs.) There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still
attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be
larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and
there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.
G
(GOOD)
Several (but not all of the following flaws
will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits,
significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or
duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only
useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
F
(FAIR)
P
(POOR)
Trash, useable only to keep the record off the floor.
