RECORD GRADING TERMS:

Mint.   
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Near Mint.  A nearly perfect record. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Excellent. An Excellent (or Very Good Plus  / VG+)  record will show some signs that it was played by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect listening. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may have a "cut-out" hole. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Very Good (VG)   Many defects found in an Excellent (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches that will affect the sound.  Picture sleeves or LP covers, or labels may be marred by writing, tape or stickers (or their residue). Sleeve can have one-inch spine split. Good.  Can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, PLEASE:

1.  CONDITION:  Grading the condition of objects is a subjective exercise, not a science.
