VINYL GRADING
Mint: This only applies to STILL SEALED vinyl.
NM (Near Mint): The grooves and labels are in superb condition with no visible flaws.
VG++ (Very Good ++): Excellent condition. May have 1-3 very light paper scuffs/stains, but nothing that will cause any audible effects. Labels will only have minor scuffs, mostly near the center hole.
VG+ (Very Good +): Only a few very light scuffs, or one short and very light needle scratch (either only causing minimal audible effect). Labels may have some light signs of wear.
VG (Very Good): Often times only one small scratch affecting one track, that WILL cause an audible effect (pops), but will not skip. Sometimes a VG grade will be because of surface noise. Label wear may vary from excellent to light wear.
JACKET or SLEEVE GRADING
Mint: Still Sealed -or- still has Shrink Wrap covering the jacket. Please note that the jacket of a Mint record will get a lower grade if it has any visible defects, such as edge wear or sale-bin cut/hole.
NM (Near Mint): Should only have minor signs of wear on the edges. Very little wear on the front or backside.
VG++ (Very Good ++): Corners & edges only show very light signs of wear. Hardly noticeable ring wear.
VG+ (Very Good +): Only 1-2 of these: Corners & edges may show light signs of wear. Most often a bargain bin "cut corner" or punch hole. Front and backside may have light ring wear. May have a partial seam split (1-3 inches) or light crease. May have unobtrusive writing or sticker.
VG (Very Good): Corners & edges are somewhat worn -OR- ring wear is very noticeable -OR- jacket has stickers -OR- jacket has writing -OR- may have a seam split. The jacket may have 1-3 of these defects, but never all of them.
