RECORD GRADING:
MINT (M) ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches,
blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means
perfect.
NEAR MINT (NM) ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny
inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to
perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight
ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all
be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++ or EX) The record or cover that all but the most
particular collector would say looks outstanding. Cover may have
insignificant manufacturers defect such as notch hole or cut corner.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)---- The record has been handled and played
infrequently or very carefully. On a disc, there may be light paper
scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the
original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play
would be acceptable for most collectors. Cover has most of its original
gloss and has been well taken care of. Minor seam splits may be
acceptable.
VERY GOOD (VG) ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and
playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove
wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, non-feelable marks
that might or will affect the sound as mild occasional surface noise or
periodic pops/clicks. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these
problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of
gloss, stains, etc.
VERY GOOD- (VG- or G+) Record will show signs same as VG with heavier
wear including noticeable groove wear and feelable marks that will
likely pop or click. Popping or clicking will be most evident through
quieter passages. Record should play all the way through, but may skip.
GOOD (G) ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface
noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through
without skipping, but may skip. Several cover flaws will be apparent,
but should not obliterate the artwork. Filler copy until a better one
can be found.
POOR (P) ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above
"Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Only the rarest of records should
ever be graded as Poor while the others should go to the trash heap.
