The record(includes but not limited to) will have a few light marks but will not affect play if any defects in pressing can exist. Little to no wear is visible will play with very little noise(with certain pressings). May have a slight warp as all vinyl with thinner pressings. Cover will have minimum wear (ring & other)shelf included but not limited to. A grade right below NM but could rival it

While not flawless(includes but not limited to), the condition have some defects (pressing and usage) but still  good, showing only minimal signs of use may even light scratches pops and some clicks Any visible blemishes should have minimal affect on play quality, though light surface noise maybe present and at very quiet portions or between tracks. My have a slight warp but should play through .There may be slight ring or cover wear, or minor writing on the cover.Possible moisture damage to cover but not limited to sticker cuts promos, cut out punch outs as well.

This grade(includes but not limited to) would have been excellent but has far more flaws, marks scratches visible, pops and clicks may be present blemishes, surface marks may or may not play through without any skips. The cover has the previous grades wear and possibly a little more with ring wear splits at seams tares and fading




This grade(includes but not limited to)  a lot  more marks and scratches  some surface some engrained most visible and cancan be felt and seen with or without light will have some pops and clicks may or may not play thru (but not guaranteed) with some surface noise, possible skips may have slight warp. Cover has ring wear very visible with some fading in addition to possible writing on sleeve and label possible water damage possible(but not limited to) seam splits, cuts punch outs,stickers   VGVinyl will have many scratches and/or other visual blemishes, may or may not play through without skipping or repeating but no guarantee. Light to moderate ,at time heavy surface noise and/or crackle pops and clicks also maybe slightly warped , however may not be  distracting. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate seam splits, water damage icludes previous grade issues and more but not limited to  VG- and belowLet's be honest: sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape. We consider any item graded at or below VG- as a LOW GRADE item. We only sell albums rated VG- and above unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends the poor
