Mint (M) Like new but not sealed. (Most records that are 40 years old and Older cannot be mint ). As aresult I will hardly, if ever, use mint to grade a record.
Excellent (EX) The cover and other items might have slightwear and/or creasing. The record shows some signs of having been played butthere is very little lessening in sound quality.
Very Good (VG) Normalwear and tear on the cover and extra items is acceptable with no major defects.(a sticker removal mark, for example, will get a VG gradingeven if the cover is mostly "EX".) The record has obviously beenplayed many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Theremay be noticeable surface marks and the occasional scratch.
Good (G) The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffingof edges, spine splits, discolouration. The record has been played so much thatthe sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and scratches.
Fair (F) Will not sell Fair Vinyls - The coverand contents will be badly torn, stained or defaced. The record should be justplayable but will display considerable surface noise and may even jump or skipand repeat.
