Still Sealed (SS) : New Unopened. Please note that some newer LP's come unsealed. These will be rated as NEW UNSEALED.
Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played. Used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-): Record is nearly perfect. Record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes; the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect play. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner cut.
Very Good (VG): Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) 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.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve has seam splits. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will be evident.
Poor (P), Fair (F): I Do not List items in this condition.
