RATINGS  

Mint 10/10: Vinyl still sealed, new in its original shrink wrap.  

NM 9/10: Vinyl may have a light pop or tick here and there.  

EX 8/10: May have light pop and tick throughout that is not readily noticeable, except between tracks or during soft passages.    

VG+ 7/10: May have light pop and tick throughout and/or moderate pop, tick or crackle here and there that is noticeable during playback but should not distract from the music.    

VG 6/10: Along with possible light noise throughout, moderate tick, pop or crackle as well, apparent during playback, but not overtaking the music. In my experience, the majority of vintage vinyl rates VG.    

VG- 5/10: Along with possible light to moderate noise throughout, loud pops, ticks or crackle present here and there, noticeable during playback.    

G 4/10: Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, heard during playback.
