Grading System
Visual graded under bright light, unless stated or requested.
Album Condition
Mint (M)
- Absolutely perfect in every way.
- Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
- Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
The Record - A nearly perfect record.
- The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The Sleeve - A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the
most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of
slight handling.
- An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam
splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either.
And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as
posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
- Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Near Mint Minus (NM-)
- May have been played once only
- May have a couple of spindel marks but not more
- May have a couple of paper scuff but not more.
- Still prestine, like new
Excellent or Very Good Plus Plus (EX or VG++)
- May have more then a few spindel marks
- May have some paper scuffs, rub marks but NO scratches.
- Any blemishes are only cosmetic.
Very Good Plus (VG+) - NO seam splits unless stated
The Record - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it
was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care
of it.
- Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and
may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s
listening experiences.
- Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
- The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
- The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
The Sleeve: - Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.
- An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole.
- In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG)
The Record - Surface noise will be evident upon playing,
especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will
not overpower the music otherwise.
- Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with
light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will
affect the sound.
- Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
The Sleeve: - Picture sleeves or LP covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
- However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
