Our Grading Standard:

N-:
Nearly New, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+:
Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of sleeves.

E: Excellent
Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E-: 
Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.

V+: 
An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V: Very Good
Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Audible surface noise and scratches, but not intrusive.

V-:
Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

G+:
Grey throughout, but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G: Good
Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G-, F and P:
The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition. We do not place these on the 10-point scale because records in this condition have little or no value. In cases where the record is extremely rare, it could still have value.
