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

RPM RECORDS: VINYL OLDIES                                        Is it Better To Buy A Brand New Pressing Of An Old Record? “You should be Wary of new reissues of old albums on vinyl. In many cases, the master is made from the most recent CD of the title because the record label does not have access to the original analog master.
If you’re into the “warmth” factor, this totally defeats the point of having the recording in this format – you are basically just buying a lesser, imperfect version of a CD. If you’re unsure about whether a new reissue is sourced from a CD, just do a bit of research: you can usually find out online somewhere.
If you have the option of finding an original pressing of the album, you should do just that. If you simply want to have a particular album on vinyl and this is your only option, then you shouldn’t fret too much about this stuff, and just go for it ."
