Please refer to my grades below (not someone else's). Many buyers and sellers have differing opinions on grading.
The following grades are considered desirable and collectible. Anything below them would have to be extremely rare to be considered so. Prices are adjusted down, accordingly.
Factory Sealed /SS: Still in shrink wrap. Assumed to be in NM or MT condition, but not always necessarily so.
Mint /MT: I do not use this, only because it would be conjecture based on the eye of the beholder.
Near Mint /NM: Looks and sounds like a new record. They may have slight minimal imperfections such as insignificant tiny marks: a hairline, sleeve wisp or a tiny scuff.
VG++: If NM was a 9.5 then this is a 9.0
Very Good Plus /VG+: This will have signs of being handled through normal use. It will usually still retain a good gloss. Light surface scratches or hairlines, Light scuff(s).Minimal wear to the label including writing (WOL) or Sticker (SOL)or tear (TOL). May have a slight non-threatening edge warp. The audio quality will be near to NM, possible light noise which will not compete with vocals or music.
Very Good /VG: This is a pronounced version of the VG+ grade. This grade may or may not be compounded by multiple issues as described in a VG+ grade. There will be Surface wear and/or some surface or background noise. Maybe label wear, SOL. or WOL. Edge chip or warping which does not affect play. An inexpensive alternative to NM
Good/Good+ If you are new to collecting or buying records, you should know that this grade is opposite of what it suggests. It is trashed and most times unplayable. Collectors buy these records mostly because they are rare and inexpensive. I have seen records in this condition sell for $10,000.(SUN Label), simply because it is extremely rare. So buyer beware when you see GD+. If I list one in my store, it will be described in full detail.
