GRADING: * M (MINT, 10/10)  Brand new sealed(no re-wrap) record.

* NM (NEAR MINT, 9 - 9.5/10) High sheen and sharply-grooved disc played maybe once or twice, if at all. Jacket, liner and any inserts close to flawless.

* VG++ (VERY GOOD ++, or EXCELLENT, 8 - 8.5/10) Still glossy disc may have minor surface marks that will have little to no impact on play, label may have small sticker. Jacket may have light wear, clean bb hole or saw-cut and possibly a sticker.

* VG+ (6.5 - 7.5/10) Disc could show some loss in original sheen and have surface scuffs/hairlines that may provide occasional static and possible light ticks. Labels may have writing and/or sticker. Covers will be solid, possibly having two or three of the following: light - moderate wear / stickers / writing / creases / small splits / punch holes, cuts, or sawmarks.  VG+ records will have been well-played, but well-cared for and provide many great listens down the road.

* VG (5 - 6/10) Disc will likely have some light scratches, but no skips, sticks, warps, etc. Jackets will show more wear than VG+ and may have more noticeable damage.

* VG- (4 - 4.5/10) Disc will have lost much lustre and have noticeable scratches but no skips or sticks. Jackets will most likely have splitting, writing, stickers, bb holes/sawmarks, creases.

*G (Good) Seldom used, only for very rare records.
