MINT (M): 

I do not generally use this grade but will occasionally for STILL SEALED items.


NEAR MINT or NM, M-  

Record:  appears virtually flawless A few minor scuffs but little else should appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the slight flaws.

Cover:  looks close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++

Record:  minor light scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs but no outright scratches

Cover:  artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but only a hint with no real paper loss. Some slight creases to the corners, but no seam splits, taped seams or writing on the cover.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+

Record:  shows some wear such as a few surface scuffs or very light (hairline) scratches. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye.  Should still play very well with only occasional background noise (perhaps a little more for 45s, by nature).

Cover:  Still very clean, but may have some of the following - writing, edge rub wear, light corner dents, one or two stickers, light soiling, mild age browning, light moisture stains and slightly more noticeable ring/rub wear. The cover or sleeve as a whole should still be very presentable. 

VERY GOOD or VG: 

Record:  similar to VG+ with moderately more noticeable flaws and possible feelable scratches.  Should still play well but will have more frequent, though not completely overwelming, background noise.

Cover:  Will have many of the flaws a VG+ exampole might have, but more of them or ones more severe in nature.  May also have seam splits or paper pulls (from removed stickers, etc).  Still should be a servicable jacket or sleeve.

VG- (GOOD):

Record:  will have abundant, very obvious surface wear but should play all the way through.  Many 45s in this condition still play better than they look and can have significant value if rare.  I generally do not deal in LPs in this condition unless they are extremely rare.
