VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

Records: Bright, glossy sheen (usually). Minor scuffs and scratches that are not audible when played. Light signs of use, age, or handling upon closer inspection. Expect great audio quality with no skips or distortions. Bright clean label with very minor imperfections. May have infrequent background crackles, pops, or clicks. This is the best bargain for casual collectors!

Light pops, clicks, and background crackles occur frequently but not constantly and do not overpower the music. Labels may be faded and have writing, tape, small tears, or other defacements.

Covers: More obvious signs of use, wear, and handling. Expect moderate ring wear, discoloration/yellowing/ink fading, small seam splits, and creased, fraying, or damaged corners. May have more noticeable writing, markings, or labels and small scratches, tears, or gouges that damage the artwork.

FAIR (F)

Records: Dull, grayish color. Well-used. Still playable but has multiple significant visible/audible faults that affect the listening experience (e.g. prominent scratches, audio distortions, or even skips). Expect consistent background crackle and major signs of use, age, or handling. Labels may have significant damage.

Covers: Significant signs of use, age, and handling. Expect heavy ring wear, major discoloration/yellowing/ink fading, large seam splits, and heavily damaged corners. May have large marker writing or masking tape seam repairs as well as large scratches, tears, or gouges that damage the artwork.
