I use the record collector grading system of Bad / Poor / Good (G) / Very Good / Excellent / Mint.
Please see below for grading details.
I also use a + or a - for grades that I consider slightly better or worse.
A VG disc on this site will not be is nasty condition like many sellers.
All records are sent out in plastic covers.
DAVID BOWIE.

RUBBER BAND / THE LONDON BOYS.
ORIGINAL 1966 DERAM UK  7" SINGLE - DM.107.
This is the 1st time the record I am selling has been on the market, this 45 has been in a private collection for many years.
The rarest of the 3 David Bowie UK Deram singles, this is a top example.
The disc was only played a couple of times, this is a true EX+ example, I am sure most would of said near Mint!     This record has not been seen on Discogs for nearly 5 years as a stock example and has only sold 3 times and not in this top condition! 

The record comes with its great condition birth early type Deram cover. 
The record is rare in any condition but like this it is investment grade!
VG copies now sell for £1000.
This will be one of the very best in the world!!!!!!!
G1 / G1 stampers.
The Record / EX+ condition. The disc is in great condition with a superb full original gloss. Even when graded under halogen bulb the record is in top shape. I do not think you will ever see a better example. Please see my feedback. .
The Labels / EX condition. Both labels are in great condition with just a little light age wear.
The Cover/ EX- condition. Original birth Deram cover in very nice clean shape. The cover is 100% original and not a reproduction. A small number has been added to one corner.
The disc is now housed a a new polylined cover as seen in the pictures. .................................................................................
I USE THE UK GRADING SYSTEM BELOW.
Mint - as new and in perfect condition.
Excellent - A real nice example with light wear only. An EX disc will play great and the cover will be very nice too.
Very Good - The disc will have light surface wear and some light marks. The record will still play very well but may have some surface sound and a little crackle as this is graded as VG. The cover will have some creasing and storage age wear.  The disc and cover will have no very serious faults. A VG disc and cover will also not be perfect!
Good / G condition - The disc will have very visible surface wear and light marks with some deeper marks. The cover will show much age wear and will not be the best example! The record will still play but will have surface sound and ticks etc.
Fair - This will be a tatty example of both disc and cover. The record will play with surface sound and noise. The cover will look tatty from age and storage wear.
Bad / Poor -This will be a badly worn example of both record and cover. The disc may jump or play with much surface sound. I would rarely sell an item like this. 
Thanks for looking.
