Mint - New, never played
NM (Near Mint) - Sleeve has minor wear, vinyl is glossy & clearly played few times or not at all - no marks on vinyl & complete package
Excellent (Ex) Sleeve as NM, but wear more pronounced - vinyl has been in & out of sleeve few times & shows signs of general use
Very Good Condition plus (VGC+) few further faults, but does not interfere with play, sleeve might have few creases - vinyl light surface scratches, marks or background crackle
Very Good (VG) Signs of wear & tear more obvious, but still usable
