Record Grading: I use the Goldmine Standards, with the addition of the Excellent category. Grading is the same regardless of age.

I will not grade a record Mint unless it is unopened and rarely grade records Near Mint. Most of what I sell will be E through G. Keep in mind an E record is not perfect, VG+ less so, VG can have a lot of background noises and even scratches, and G will play, but will have background noise throughout scratches and may have skips. Read below for more information

Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. In most situations this applies to a new record that has not been opened. Although, there can be specific exceptions in which this applies to new records that have been opened and not played and the record surface shows no scuffs from storage in the sleeve. A mint grading would not apply to a new unopened record if damage to the cover can be seen.

Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, but could have been played some and more than some depending on turntable and care, The vinyl will play like new, with no imperfections during playback. (Note: Even new records can have some imperfections.) The record should show no obvious signs of wear. 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. It is Near Mint because it essentially looks like and plays like a Mint record.

Excellent (E) Seller added category: A record that will visually show some imperfections, but plays pretty much perfectly. It has been played more than several times, but well cared for. The cover may show some very light wear, but nothing significant (not noticeable from a distance of several feet).

Very Good Plus (VG+): 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 (there will be more visual defects then in an Excellent Record.), 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. In otherwards one may hear some light pops or other sounds and these sounds will not be in all sections between songs or heard in all quiet sections of a track; they are occasional and do not affect the overall listening experience. 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 I and are noticeable. 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 Excellent.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Visually the surface of the record can look pretty rough. 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.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+): 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. While a G+ record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. A G record may have some skips, but continue playing. 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. This is a rough looking and playing record.

Poor (P), Fair (F): The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
