For sale is a superior example of soul 45 "I'm Only A Man/I'll Be Home" by Gene Diamond on the Tag Ltd. label, T-104. 
Scant ringwear on "I'm Only A Man" side. Date "7/19/67" written in blue ink on "I'll Be Home Side." Vinyl rates play graded VG++ on "I'll Be Home" side... the slightest hint of crackle on beginning of side takes it down from NM. "I'll Be Home" side ranks NM. Visual grade on both is NM. 
My grading scale:

STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition. 


M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.


M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade. 


NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection


VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (sleeve scuffs, faint scratches or other superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.


VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections


VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.  


VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better. 


GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
