Good          Tears, water damage, major seem or spine splits


Play Grading:

NM            Very close to new- very light to no surface noise in quiet passages

EX              Occasional surface noise in quiet passages, none in louder passages, no audible scratches/scuffs

VG+           Some surface noise in quiet passages, occasional crackling in louder passages, possible slightly audible light scratches/scuffs

VG             Surface noise in most quiet passages, noise detectable in louder passages, audible light scratches/scuffs

Good          Probably a hazard to your stylus- avoid


*** Please note that play grading is somewhat subjective and can depend on the quality of the playback system and proper setup/cartridge alignment.  Play grading is performed using audiophile grade equipment that is adequately revealing of vinyl condition.  Assessment performed on several track-to-track transitions.  The run-in grooves and first few seconds of the first track are not used for assessing play grade.  Generally, a play grade of VG+ or better will be highly enjoyable and surface noise not a distraction on most playback systems.
