Grading NM   Near Mint. Record and cover appear virtually unmarked. Cover still in shrink.

VG++ A hair under near mint may have only a couple of insignificant surface only lines that should cause

only very minimal sound defects. Cover out of shrink otherwise close to perfect

VG+  Used but not abused. Some surface lines.  Will have some relatively slight audible imperfections.

 Some normal cover wear.

VG…  There will be visual imperfections and  some audible ones . May be a number of surface only lines or there

 might be a small scratch but not one that  repeats, Cover will be worn or have some kind of defect.

 In this condition flaws will be pictured or noted.

VG- .. Usually the lowest rating I will list an LP at. Same as VG but defects are more pronounced.  May have more  than 1 scratch but still not one that repeats. This record will still be enjoyable but there will almost definitely be  background sound. I have sold many rare 78s and older acetates at this grade and buyers have almost always been  quite  pleased. , In this condition flaws will be pictured or noted

PLEASE NOTE: eBay does not offer "sealed" as a condition option, hence most eBayers list sealed records as "Mint". This can be misleading as Mint implies perfect. A brand new LP will rarely play perfectly. 
Aside from factory defects or poor quality vinyl, new records that don't play Minty at first might play darn near Mint with a good cleaning. New records often need to be cleaned because they are statically charged & will attract dust etc. Also new records can be contaminated with dust & grit from the factory or even some release agent from the manufacturing process.
