Grading Scale:    

Mint… Perfect record, clean gloss, no marks, beautiful in every way. Very few records will make mint.

Near Mint… Very clean, with only a few light marks. A great record. 

VG++... Almost a Near Mint, but not quite.  Any noises as described under VG+ will be incidental in nature.  

VG+… Used, but not abused. Light scratches only, mostly heard in between the tracks. Should play and look very nice with minimal surface noise.

VG… Still a nice record. Looks a bit used, with noticeable scratches, but no gouges, loud skips, or stops.  Still plays well, some surface noise. 

VG-… A bit rough but will play ok.  Fills the collection. 

G… Plays rough. Has multiple scratches.
