Please use this grading scale as a reference
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way.
Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed
under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade,
If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade
higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly
perfect.
The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should
have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or
other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable
similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be
true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a
new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything
that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth
significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
Excellent
(EX) – Same but I’d tolerate very light
marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or
tiny signs of use generally. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam
splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of
course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves and the like.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Generally worth 50 percent of the
Near Mint value.
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very
light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps
that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely
noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned
up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear
also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it
was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly
acceptable.
Very Good (VG)
Generally worth 25 percent of Near
Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced
in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft
passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music
otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches
(deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue)
attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it
will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of
them.
Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the
lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when
determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will
normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
Generally worth 10-15 percent of the
Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus
condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove
wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the
spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the
object.
It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape
eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years,
and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
Generally worth 0-5 percent of
the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play
through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged,
split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover
barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled,
and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this
condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
