Discs - 'Very Good plus'
Vinyl looks good, a few scuffs & hairlines over a superb gloss, with one or two more noticeable marks.
Clean labels; light spindle-marking - see photos.
Well-played, but still plays very well, with light surface noise & the occasional soft pop.
A mark generates a dozen or so clicks towards the end of 'Come Together' - no skips.
Sleeve - 'Very Good plus'
The fully-laminated outer is good - no splits, rips, major creases. The front laminate seems to have shrunk slightly - see drain photo.
There's a couple of minor creases across the spine, with a little laminate-lift. Corner- edge- & ring-wear is minimal.
The original? white paper no-hole liner is clean, no splits, rips, ink, major creases.
Will supply with new poly-lined paper inner.

Condition Guide
I use the Record Collector's Magazine's Grading Guide - which is also the ebay standard - to describe the condition of records.

"MINT - M: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT - Ex: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD - VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD - G: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

Note - I don't use 'Mint' as a description - and I don't sell less-than-'Good'.
