Today I learned why sellers need to open a sealed record. It sucks that this is no longer sealed, but it still hasn't been played and is in very clean condition.  There is light wear on the corner and the bottom of the sleeve.     • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

VINYL ALBUM GRADING/CONDITION

EDJGRAPHIX1 guidelines for assessing the grading / condition of used records.

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. There are no scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it. If the vinyl is still sealed in shrink wrap, then it is assumed that the vinyl is mint.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A minor scuff and very little else should appear on the vinyl. It should play without any additional noise due to the flaw. The flaw shouldn’t be too obvious. The cover looks almost perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs but NO scratches.  COVER: Artwork is pretty close to perfect as can be. Impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) and very little ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws cause minor surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.nThe artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play decently. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should be excellent, overpowering the surface noise during louder parts of the music. A VG record will appear to have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling.  

GOOD or G A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. These are big turn offs. May have magic marker writing on the cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off.  In essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will still be noticed. 

On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
10 = MINT

 9 = NM

 8 = VG++

 7 = VG+

 6 = VG

 5 = VG-

 4 = G+

 3 = G

 2 = G-

 1 = P
