All records are visually graded unless stated.  I use my best judgement and 40+ years of experience.  Every attempt will be made to describe flaws.  Jackets & Vinyl are graded seperatly.  Below is a reduced version of Goldmine's grading system used:

Mint(M) - Sealed LP or like new and unplayed (sparingly used)

Mint Minus(M-) - Like new but may have been played

Near Mint(NM) -  Near perfect condition with perhaps an inconsequential flaw that will always be noted

Very Good Plus(VG+) - well cared for but previosly played, may have light scratches, collectable

Very Good(VG) - some distinguishable flaws that will be noted
