Downsizing so vinyl album collection being offered for sale. My records have always been looked after, carefully stored and only played on decent quality equipment. When describing condition, I use the more or less standard industry grading system as follows:

ALL GRADINGS ARE MAINLY BY VISUAL INSPECTION ONLY

 

:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks and usually unplayed  The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT: The record itself looks new and unplayed in appearance with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and any extra items such as the lyric insert, inner or booklets are in near to perfect condition

EXCELLENT: The record may show a few minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and packaging might have slight wear, mild creasing and/or shelf rub
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played a number of times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable hairline surface marks or there may be minor spindle marks. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without major defects, may exist.

OTHER: Records which are less than VG will not be offered for sale.
