Grading:


Vinyl: VG+: Looks and sounds excellent.


Jacket:  VG+: Very slight line of ring wear. I added a protective sleeve over the jacket.


Grading standards:


Vinyl:


M: unopened, sealed in shrink. I don't grade open vinyl in this category.


VG++: Looks great, sounds new. Can have one 2 inch hairline scratch or 2 hairline scratches less than an inch each. Often, I grade NM records with no scratches in this category because I do not grade NM!


VG+: May have some light scratches. Does not affect sound quality.


VG: Has alot of scratches. May have slight affect on sound quality. The primary example is crackling that can be present on quieter sections.


G+ or G: I generally wouldnt sell these unless the record is ultra rare. These can have pops or crackling even over loud sections.


Sleeve:


M: Sealed, no storage wear.


EX: Sealed, slight storage wear such as minor ring wear.


VG++: Still in shrink, no damage.


VG+: May have one small imperfection such as some fading on the binding.


Vg: May have 2 imperfections such as ring wear and a signature.


G+: has 3 imperfections such as ring wear, signature, and a tear on the binding.


G: Has 4 or more imperfections. Generally is not a great sleeve for collectors. Usually structurally intact so it can still hold or preserve the vinyl
