Grading I grade records conservatively according to the industry standard Goldmine Grading Scale, using a bright light. I play records on a Rega Planar 3 turntable and will provide audio clips on request.
MINT (M) Sealed.
NEAR MINT (NM)

No signs of prior use. Possibly played a few times. No visible wear whatsoever. This means no spindle marks, fingerprints, etc. Very light sleeve scuffs under bright light, superficial production flaws, and other cosmetic irregularities will be noted if playback is affected.

Cover looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time. Often in shrink. Sharp corners, strong legible spine. No surface wear or splits.

EXCELLENT (EX)

Vinyl is just shy of brand new looking. LP may have faint surface marks barring it from being truly Near Mint, but sound quality should not be affected at all.

Cover sleeve is just short of Near Mint, with no significant ring-wear or staining. Seams fully intact, strong legible spine. Corners, edges, and surfaces may show light wear. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

Shows obvious signs of wear, including light scuffs or scratches that may be present but do no significantly affect playback. Surface noise will not be overpowering and will be free of major blemishes. No scratches will be deep enough to feel. No skips.

Cover is considered still 'frame-able' yet when observed closely will show to have small flaws, including light ring-wear or corner wear, seams and spine intact but not pristine. Edges show wear. No splits. 

VERY GOOD

Signs of moderate to heavy wear and handling, LP has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots, clicks and pops will be heard, but will not significantly disrupt the music. No skips.

Cover shows more obvious ring-wear, marks, or staining. Seams may have cracking, partial splits, or missing spine text but are still fairly well intact.
