 MINT    Record is in original shrink wrap. It has never been opened or played.

 VG++    In great condition with a few light scratches or marks.

  VG+    Normal wear, scattered light scuffs or scratches that are mostly inaudible

  VG     Somewhat mishandled, light scratches or scuffs or maybe a few larger ones, occasional surface noise, possibility of skipping when played.

  G       Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly   defaced or damaged.

G R A D I N G  –  Album cover

 MINT    No indication of being handled outside of a new store. The record cover has no problems, no creases, no ring wear, no seam wear. 

 N/M     is (or virtually) as brand new. Excellent: slight rub or similar that is evident on close inspection .

 N/M-   Well cared for, may show very minor wear.

   EX     Same as Excellent (this grading usually used only for Vinyl grading) .

  VG+    Cover may have light ring wear, or a crease, a perfectly acceptable record cover if Near Mint is not essential for you. 

  VG     General wear, with contour creasing, cover may have ring wear, seam wear or other imperfections. 

  G       Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found..
