GRADING GUIDELINE
I use the Record Collector Magazine's grading guide which is close to Goldmine grading but with less ambiguity.
MINT (M):  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.  Records marked as Sealed or Un-played should be Mint.
MINT MINUS (MT-):  The record looks mint but has one or more faint edge/surface marks created by the inner sleeve.  Seen only under very bright light there is no deterioration in sound quality.  Still looks brand new and may be never played.  The cover may have a very small amount of seam rub.      
EXCELLENT (EX):  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and packaging might have light wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG):  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
GOOD (G):  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing on the edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F):  The record is still just playable but has been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.  The cover and contents will be torn, stained and or defaced.  
POOR (P):  The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface, noise, etc.  The cover and contents will be badly damaged and partly missing.
BAD (B):  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only a collection filler.
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LIQUIDATING MY COLLECTION OF THOUSANDS  OF LP'S, CD'S AUTOGRAPHS AND OTHER MUSIC MEMORABILIA THAT WAS ACCUMULATED OVER DECADES OF BEING IN THE RETAIL MUSIC BUSINESS.  NEARLY ALL OF THE LP'S AND CD'S WERE IMMEDIATELY PUT IN STORAGE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED.  ALL ARE GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS.
PROMOTIONAL LP'S:  LP's marked as promotional almost always came from first pressings.  Promo labels, cover drills, corner cuts, notches and gold stamps were a common way for record labels to mark and identify non-returnable copies given to retail and/or radio stations.  The covers may be marked but the vinyl inside may be the best you can find if in high grade.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING:  FAST SHIPMENTS GUARANTEED.  Shipments are processed the same or next business day after payment.  Only the highest quality box and packing materials are used for PROPER PACKAGING to assure your LP arrives safely.  If the album is unsealed the LP will always be shipped outside of its cover to prevent cover damage.  For purchases over $15 a new inner sleeve is used to protect the original custom sleeve.  Both cover and LP are placed in a thick heavy-duty poly outer sleeve.
