Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it?s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don?t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.
Excellent (EXC)
An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of E-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.
Very Good Plus (VGC+)
The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. It doesn?t, however, have compromised audio or visuals. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio may have slight background crackle. If you?ve come across a VG+ record, you?ve found a solid investment. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.
Very Good (VGC)
A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It?s still useable, but it?ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries light pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. You can enjoy listening to a VG-rated record, and you can use it as an artistic display, too. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged.
