Goldmine Grading Definitions: Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way.
Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used
sparingly as a grade, if at all. Near Mint (NM or M-): A
nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and
the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many
dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that
no record is ever truly perfect. The record should
show no obvious signs of wear. A 45
RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any
sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam
splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be
true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Very Good Plus (VG+): A
Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of
a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record
surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light
scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do
not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or
discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be
present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly
turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of
wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In
general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near
Mint.
Very Good (VG): Many
of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and
during a song's intro and fade but will not overpower the music otherwise.
Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to
feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing
or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of
picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems
at the same time.
Good (G), Good Plus
(G+): A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be
played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise,
scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,
especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other
defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping,
noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany
the playback. Poor (P), Fair (F): The
record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or
repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and
heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it.
Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
