45 RPM Grading System:
SS (New Still Sealed) = New store stock or otherwise unopened, factory fresh product NM = Essentially new or near new with only one or two small insignificant visual anomalies E = Still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which won't materially effect play VG+ = A really nice specimen, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches.  It may play with a few pops, but has no serious problems. Still glossy with a lot of life left in it VG = An acceptable, well-played record that still should sound good, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc. G = Not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in a way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
