9 |
NM |
Near Mint records will look like new or almost-like-new, with at worst, a minor surface mark(s). (This is usually the TOP grade for an unsealed album) |
|
8 |
VG+ |
Very Good Plus records will be nice and shiny with only minor surface marks which shouldn't affect the sound |
|
7 |
VG |
Very Good records will still be nice & shiny but have more pronounced scuffs/scratches which will likely be audible |
|

G+ |
I don't list many items below VG ... but may do so if it's a desirable title ... so a Good Plus or Good may be acceptable if it's the only condition available ... |

5 |
G |
these two grades will include records with signs of wear, deeper scratches and pops/clicks during play ... still may be worth keeping until an upgrade is found ... |
