Crease lower right, some wear along top and bottom. Most would call it VG+, I think. Vinyl is flawless.

See my Discogs feedback as well (same username).

Cleaned on a VPI HW-16.5 Record Cleaning Machine. If you would like me to run it through my Audio Desk System Gläss ultrasonic record cleaner before sending it to you, just let me know.

Happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases.

I do my best to grade according to Goldmine standards, which are described below. I try to be quite conservative in my grading. I am a serious collector myself and try to grade the way I hope other people will grade records I'm buying.

NOTE: Some of these records have a LAST label affixed to the label. If so, then this will be mentioned explicitly. It does NOT affect the grade I give the record. (The labels can usually be removed without too much trouble, though I will leave that to you.)

Near Mint (NM OR M-)

A good description of a NM record is "it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time". In other words, it's nearly perfect. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

Excellent (EX)

Between NM and VG+, so has a few minor scuffs, e.g., compared to an NM record. All issues will be mentioned.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

A good description of a VG+ record is "except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint".

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole.

VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. NO WRITING, ETC.

Very Good (VG)

VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song?s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won?t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

Very Good Minus (VG-)

None of the records I sell will have this rating for the vinyl. (I'll give those to Savers.) Covers may have this grade. If so, it means there is heavy writing or obvious damage caused by someone (possibly me) trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. The issues will be described.
