Shellac Grade - Please read.

MINT - Possibly unplayed - excellent condition through out!

NEAR MINT (NM): This record has the lightest of light surface scratches on the record surface. It should play without any problem.
 
EXCELLENT (EX): Minor scuffs which are visible. There may be more than a few scuffs.
It should play without any problem!

VERY GOOD (VG): Record shows wear and / or surface scuffs. The shellac still has great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. The flaws may cause additional minor surface noise.

GOOD (G) Record has visible scratches / scuffs but plays without jumping / skipping.

FAIR (F) Record may jump or skip but worth having in the collection.

Cover & Sleeve Grade - Please Read.

NEAR MINT (NM): The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age.

but no ink wear! Some creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye.
