My Grading Scale for Vinyl
EX: Vinyl will sound excellent from start to finish. May have one or two tiny blemishes, but they will be INAUDIBLE. A few pops/hisses here and there may be present, but overall your listening experience should be similar to purchasing a brand new record.

VG+: Record may have a few scuffs/hairlines but will otherwise look great. Will sound great as well - no significant crackling or hissing to distract from enjoyment of playback on even the best equipment. If there are are shorter passages with light crackling/hissing, I will do my best to note them in the description. VG+ records should satisfy all but the most sensitive audiophiles, and if you are concerned, feel free to message me and I'll re-listen to the record and give you detailed play notes.
VG: Record may have visible scratching/scuffing/blemishes. May have some light crackling/hissing during playback or a few audible pops. Record will still be satisfactory for most buyers - a fine daily player on all systems, perfect for parties or casual listening. If you have a lower end system and/or you don't mind a little crackling on playback, you'll be fine with VG. If you do not want any noise on your recording, stick to EX or VG+.

VG-: Record may have a few major scratches or audible crackling/hissing during entire playback. If you're looking for a nice budget copy of a great album, VG- is fine and it'll still probably sound decent on a low end system with heavy tracking force. If you aren't picky at all and just want to put the album on and listen to it, you'll enjoy a VG- record.
G+: I'll generally only grade a record G+ if there's something wrong with it, like a warp that makes the first part of a song unplayable or something. If you're looking at a G+ record of mine, READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION.
