Detailed Grading Descriptions
M (Mint): Absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, this copy has been strictly vetted to meet the highest possible standard of perfection.
EX (Excellent): Exceptional copy. Vinyl retains full factory luster with only stray paper scuffs visible under bright light. Play is silent. Jacket is crisp and structurally perfect.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): Highly collectable condition. Vinyl shows light cosmetic hairlines that do not affect play. Jacket has minor shelf wear but remains sturdy and clean with no splits.
VG (Very Good): Solid play copy. Vinyl has visible surface marks; expect mild surface noise in quiet parts, but no skips. Jacket shows moderate wear/aging as pictured.
G+ (Good Plus): Well-loved copy. Vinyl is heavily marked and plays with significant surface noise; no skips. Jacket has heavy wear and seam splits. Ideal filler copy.
P (Poor): Heavy damage. Vinyl may be cracked, badly warped, or skip/repeat. Covers are so heavily damaged that you almost want to cry. Sold as-is for art or collection filler.
