SEALED:  Factory Sealed, NOT resealed  

    MINT:  Like New  

    NEAR MINT:   Record Grade: Extremely Nice. Would be Mint, except for posibbly a few very light hairlines or sleeve scuffs that don't cause any noise.

                               Cover Grade: Would be Mint except for very slight ring or shelf wear or crease in cover. (would be specified in grade)

    VG+:  Record Grade: Very Nice, but used, may have light scuffs or scratches, plays with a some light surface noise in places but still very enjoyable

               Cover Grade: Shows light ring or shelf wear or crease in cover. (would be specified in grade)

    VG:  Record Grade: A well used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise & pops (would be specified in grade)

             Cover Grade: Shows moderate ring or shelf wear, creases, possible stains, writing on cover, seam splits (would be specified in the grade)
