Grading Scale:

• M: Mint condition, sealed vinyl

•NM: A sealed sleeve or a sleeve that has been opened and is known to have been stored safely and handled rarely, with no signs of wear.

A near mint vinyl is known to have come from a sealed sleeve, been stored safely, and rarely handled. It will also appear as if it had just been removed from a sealed sleeve.

• VG++: a sleeve will appear brand new with no signs of use, wear, or storage marks

A record will have no visible markings whatsoever, and will have no signs of warp. Playback should be completely clean and pure

• VG+: a sleeve appears only gently used and carefully stored, with only minimal signs of wear.

A record appears gently used and carefully stored, but may have a small number of light marks such as scuffs or smudges, or very light scratches that cannot be felt with a fingertip and should not affect playback

• VG: a sleeve will show slightly more noticeable signs of wear, which could include wear to sleeve edges, ringwear (indentations or light staining from record stored in sleeve), light/moderate wear to corners & spine, and other slight incidental defects

A record will show some visible scuffs or scratches that cannot be felt with a fingertip, and may have some very slight warping. Any affect to playback should be light, momentary, and minimal (such as light crackling or light pops)

• VG-: a sleeve's signs of use, storage, or wear will be more noticeable; there may also be small tears, stains, or creases, but overall the sleeve remains in solid condition

A record may have a greater number of superficial scuffs, scratches, or other permanent marks that generally do no affect play, but in some cases may cause momentary audible issues such as surface noise, pops, ticks, or distortion.

• G+: A sleeve will have some obvious signs of wear, storage, or use, and may have some heavier splitting at seams, heavier staining/discoloration, and other signs of use/abuse/storage

A record will have quite a few surface marks- such as scuffs, scratches, staining-likely from poor storage or misuse, that generally do not affect play; however there may be deeper marks that can be felt with a fingertip, and momentary audible issues such as pops, ticks, distortion, or even skipping will likely result- however the record is playable and listenable overall without being overwhelmed by audible issues

• G: A sleeve will show damages, usually from poor storage, use/abuse, or incidental occurrences. Staining, tearing, wear to edges/corners/spine, ringwear, splitting, and other issues will be more obvious and more severe

A record will have numerous signs of wear, poor storage, and misuse; it may be moderately warped, and may have a a greater number of audible issues- such as pops, noise, distortion, skips, etc- due to scratches, scuffs, or other defects, but generally will play back without defects distracting too much from the recording

• G-: A sleeve will be damaged or beginning to fall apart, and may have heavy splitting, staining, warping, moisture damage, tearing, and other heavier wear and tear. It will generally still hold together, but if not cared for will continue to deteriorate.

A record will have numerous visible defects, may be warped, and playback will likely be affected by scratches, scuffs, and other permanent marks or defects. Defects will likely be distracting, but generally the record will play back and may be listenable overall.

• F+: a sleeve shows heavy signs of poor storage, misuse, staining, or other damage. It may not be in one piece, or very close to falling apart- or may show signs of being mended back together with tape, glue, etc. Staining and ringwear may obscure text and images, tearing and heavy wear will be evident.

A record will have issues that affect playback and at some points the record may be unlistenable. The record may be moderately to heavily warped, and will show heavier or a very high number of scratches, scuffs, and other defects. The record could have areas of damage that render it unplayable in those areas.

• P: A sleeve might be in multiple pieces, or heavily repaired, and will show overall heavy damage and wear.

A record will likely be at least partially unplayable due to wear or damages, or will likely be unlistenable if played
