LP also has a few surface scratches. Sampled a few songs and didn't notice any problems. VG

Mint (M): should be “absolutely perfect” in all ways. It is a record that has never been played, and likely still sealed in plastic leaving few records to meet this qualification. Many collectors feel that removal of the shrink wrap reduces the condition rating. Near mint (NM or M-): a rating used far more frequently, this one means a record is close to being perfect condition. It may possess a minor defect but not have creases, folds, tears, scratches, etc. Very good plus (VG+) or Excellent (E): is a record will have some signs of use, but it will still play nicely. Labels may be a bit scuffed as will the covers, it may even be slightly warped. Many records will fall into this category and a record in this condition is likely worth about half of one in mint condition. Very good (VG): is generally a record with the problems of a VG+, potentially along with others. There may be audible issues such as scratching but no skipping, for instance. The cover and label will show more signs of use and there may be writing on it. A VG will sell for about 25 percent of a mint record. Good (G) and good plus (G+) or or Very Good Minus (VG–): will still be playable and not skip, but there may be more audible issues when doing so. Seam or spine issues are possible as well. These grades will be worth even less than VG. Poor (P) and Fair (F): will have skips and have other major problems like excessive warping, cracks, ripped labels and covers in poor condition. These are typically found for sale at garage sales. They will yield no more than 5% of mint value and are worth more in sentimental value than anything.
