MINT:  SEALED (RARELY DO I USE THIS GRADING FOR OPENED ITEMS)
NEAR MINT:  LOOKS NEW, IF THERE ARE BLEMISHES, THEY ARE EXTREMELY SUPERFICIAL, LIKE VERY SMALL LIGHT WISPY SLEEVE SCUFF MARKS
VG++ TO NEAR MINT-:   THIS IS AN AREA THAT IS A NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH A FEW EXTREMELY SUPERFICIAL BUT LIGHTLY VISUAL MARKS, COVERS NO SPLITS.
VG+:  A VERY PLAYABLE COPY, LIGHT VISUAL MARKS POSSIBLE, SUPERFICIAL NEEDLE MARKS THAT CANNOT BE FELT WITH A FINGERNAIL.  SOME SCUFF COULD PASS BUT MUST PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT NOISE, VERY MINIMAL WARP IS ACCEPTED.  COVERS WILL HAVE LITTLE WEAR, SMALL 1" SPLIT OK.  
VG:  USED BUT STILL SOUNDS FINE.  VERY LIGHT NOISE MOSTLY HEARD BETWEEN SONGS AND IN QUIET SPOTS.  DOES NOT SKIP!
GOOD:  WELL USED AND HAS DISTRACTING SOUND THROUGHOUT MOST OF ALBUM.  VISUAL MARKS SCRATCHES AND FOR ME IS GENERALLY AN AS-IS CONDITION.  THIS IS USUALLY RESERVED FOR THOSE VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND RECORDS THAT COULD SERVE AS A FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ON COMES ALONG.  
POOR:  TRASHED, AT YOUR OWN RISK.  (I DON'T THINK YOU'LL FIND ANY OF THESE HERE…)
