Disc - 'Excellent minus'
Nice still-glossy vinyl with lots of fine scuffs & hairlines and one or two more-visible marks.
Clean labels; few spindle-trails visible; some sign of wear to the spindle-hole - see photos.
Still plays very well, with occasional light crackle & one or two isolated quiet pops.
Sleeve - 'Excellent minus'
The card outer is generally clean & straight, with light ring-marking - see photos.
Slightly bumped corners; some small near-creases; slight top & bottom edge-wear; slight damage to the open edge.
The spine is OK, uncrushed; slight surface loss but still mostly legible - see photo.
The original? inner is a generic printed "Care Of Your Record" poly bag - see photo.
Supplied with new poly-lined paper inner.

Condition Guide
I use the Record Collector's Magazine's Grading Guide - which is also the ebay standard - to describe the condition of records.

"MINT - M: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT - Ex: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD - VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD - G: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

Note - I don't use 'Mint' as a description - and I don't sell less-than-'Good'.
