Sealed, never opened never played.

MINT/SEALED  (M):
-Record- looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs, blotches or stains.
-Cover- No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits.

NEAR MINT (NM):
-Record- Appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see.
-Cover- Looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT (EX)
-Record- little wear, surface scuffs, very minor/light scuffs not really audible. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. Flaws do not really cause any surface noise.
-Cover- Clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging.  Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends.

VERY GOOD (VG):
-Record- this record is a record that is "good enough" to listen to. Does not look good, but will STILL play very good. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. Record will appear well have been played but still have some luster. Minor Scratches, some audible. 
-Cover- will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. There may be some writing on the cover. Will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air. Still it should be decent.

GOOD (G)
-Record- A good record will look like it has been played a lot, dull, grayish. However a Good record should still play. It will have substantial surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep easily audible scratches.
-Cover- It will have seam splits. Possibly repair jobs done to it. May have magic marker/pen writing on the cover. Artwork will still be noticeable and recognizable.
