Visual Condition Grades: MINT     This record looks perfect, with NO flaws what so ever on the surface. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. SEALED or opened. NM, NM+/M-     This record appears virtually flawless. Very little wear can appear on the vinyl. It will play without any noise over any flaws, if any/ very clean vinyl.

 EX, EX+    This record will still sound very nice, there may be lite surface noise or a random few taps between songs -(no skips there or constant repeating taps), still sounding VERY clean through most of the record.

 VG+/EX-    Some scuffs will be on the surface. Scuffs that don't create long surface noise persisting for a long length of time--a bit loved and played harder than EX/NM.

 VG    Record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye, maybe even a blemish under the surface of the vinyl not effecting sound. If the flaws/blemish don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. 

 GOOD     A good record will look very well played, dull. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. It will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively snaps or repeated clicks, caused by deeper scratches.
