NM - Sleeve and Record are almost as new . Light  wear possible . EX - Excellent cover may have light wear , light handling . Record may have light marks . Light noise . VG - Cover will have noticeable handling wear , creases , light wear and tear . Record will show play , possibly scratches . Still plays through fine . 
ALWAYS WASH JAPAN DIRECT RECORDS . MILDEW  IS USUALLY SURFACE NOISE SOURCE . One can't see it but it's there . Just like Windex or Discwasher . One gets a crackle effect . But the record looks clean , quite often. 
When buying records . Just look at the label for spindle marks . Expensive record cleaning machines work nice records that need to be CLEANED . They do not remove groove damage over poor  playback abuse . A really clean record . May look it . After cleaning . But will still have that hideous surface noise . 
You don't need a $500 cartridge . All you need is a Good/New stylus . VTA . And overhang and at least a $400- $500 vintage turntable . Denon Pioneers can be bought fairly cheap . A Marantz (No Mech Engineering etc..) , New cheap turntables . Are designed to grind new territory into the record . There is no such thing as a Audiophile Automatic Turntable .  Tone arm drag and imbalance .  Long tone arm . Manual Function = correct . 

RECORD(S) : EX-  Some spindle marks . One side of label .   COVER: EX TO EX+ INSERT(S): EX Some ageing .  OBI: EX .  INNER SLEEVE :  INNER BOOKLET :  DECALS : NM POSTERS :
