Generally, the records are visually graded, unless additional information indicates that they are play-graded.
GRADING SYSTEM:
FS / NM+ / NM / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G
where:
FS = Factory Sealed

G = Good
My highest grade for a non-sealed record is NM. In case the record looks as new or unplayed, it will be graded as NM+.
