Grading Scale:


Mint (M or SS): Still Sealed & Pristine.

Near Mint- (NM-): Nearly perfect in all way. As if it was just taken out of the shrink.

Excellent+ (EX+): Basically NM, but may have some minute blemish or line. Jacket/Gatefold: very sturdy, crisp, and strong coloring. Spine lettering visible.

Excellent (EX): Very Glossy w/ perhaps some signs of being played. May have a light blemish or two (barely noticeable or tiny hairline marks, sleeve scuff, etc.). Jacket/Gatefold: Still sturdy & rigid with very little to no wear. May have very light discoloration, creasing, or age spots.

Excellent- (EX-): Still in Fantastic shape, but there are some more noticeable marks. Playback most likely unaffected. Jacket/Gatefold: Some ring-wear may be starting to show up, a small tear may be present, minor creases could be present. May have moderate discoloration, creasing, or age spots.

Very Good + (VG+): May have light surface marks or scuffing that is a bit more discernible, but will still play well. Jacket/Gatefold: Slightly more worn, but still sturdy & rigid. Ring-Wear could be visible and creasing may be more pronounced. Heavy discoloration, creasing or age spots.

Very Good (VG): Relatively visible hairline scratches, marks, sleeve scuff, etc. Playback may be affected at this point. Jacket/Gatefold: Definitely has some visible damage and/or discoloration. Typically anything that is notably damaged, I will mention it in the listing and/or include a picture.

Very Good - (VG-): Pretty bad shape, but still likely playable (although there may be skipping or some crackling). Noticeable, but not terrible. Jacket/Gatefold: Will have visible issues w/ creasing, folding, discoloration, ring-wear, spine-wear, etc.

Good++ (G++): Possibly Playable, despite quite visible defects. Jacket/Gatefold: has seen some atrocities, but is still identifiable. Likely a bit flimsy. Nothing lower than this will be listed unless Ultra-Rare.
