GRADING SYSTEM:  All Records are VISUALLY GRADED only.  VISUAL GRADING of records is determined as follows:

MINT CONDITION (M):  No visible scratches, scuffs, flaws, defects, marks or other indications of being handled or played. No scuffs or scratches. (Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category).   

NEAR MINT (NM):  Vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. 1-4 very minor, barely visible scuffs (such as from brushing of a fingernail or contact with the inner sleeve) may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. 

EXCELLENT (EXC):  May have minor surface scuffs and possibly a hairline scratch or two; nothing that is obvious or would be expected to affect play. Vinyl is bright and shiny, label is clean and unmarked.  

VERY GOOD (VGC):  Some visible surface wear, such as very minor scratches or scuffs. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small stickers or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.  

GOOD (G):  Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that would likely cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be minor wear or deformation of the spindle hole. 

FAIR (F):  Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks, etc.).  The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

ALBUM COVER GRADES: 

MINT (M):  Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside. 

NEAR MINT (NM):  Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. 

EXCELLENT (EXC):  Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG):  Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying. 

GOOD (G):  Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape. There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork. 

FAIR (F):  Several (but not all) of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or other tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
