VINYL GRADING SCALE
Mint (M)
The
sleeve and cover are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the
record must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be
used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that a record can be sealed and not
Mint. There could be sleeve discoloration, ring wear, or vinyl warp if
guidelines on how to store vinyl were not followed. If you suspect your record
is in Mint condition, do not play it.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
A nearly
perfect record. A Near Mint (NM) record has more than likely never been played.
The vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The
record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve of a 45 of EP should
have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The
LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam-splits, cut-out holes, or other
noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such
as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM,
implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very
Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a
previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature
and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a VG+ record should sound the
same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Vinyl surfaces may show some signs of wear, such
as slight scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the
sound are okay. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it
should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and
inner sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small
seam-split. An LP cover may have sparse signs of wear and may be marred by a
cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, it plays perfectly, and
if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG)
The
defects found in a Very Good Plus (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a
Very Good (VG) item. 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, such 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 same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG
item will not have all of these problems at the same time.
Good, Good Plus (G, G+)
A record
in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping,
but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear.
A cover or sleeve will have seam-splits, especially at the bottom or on the
spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the
record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and “ticks”
will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor, Fair (P, F)
The
record is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or
repeating. The picture sleeve could be water damaged, split on more than one
seam, and heavily marred by wear or writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP
inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. Poor (P)
or Fair (F) records are generally worth very little, at most 5% of the Near
Mint (NM) price.
CONDITION: This item is in excellent or mint condition
