M - Mint - Are records that are sealed and brand new.
NM- -Near Mint - Are near flawless records that appear to be opened but never played should have no visible scratches or marks on vinyl. Covers will be in the shrink with pretty much no visible flaws.
EX - Excellent - A record with very little flaws like a light scratch here and there maybe have some surface marks. Is considered to be better then VG+ but isn't quite a NM Record.
VG+ - Very Good + - Record may have some very light scratches, light scuffs and or surface marks. Should sound really good with little no background noise. Can have light warp that doesn't effect the play. Covers will be in shrink most of the time but if it isn't can have minor defects like a crease or cutout.
