Vinyl grading: 

M = Mint (like new, looks Unplayed!)  (Superior play) 

NM = Near Mint  (very clean, barely a mark)  (Plays Great!) 

VG++ = Excellent (some very light scuffs or hairlines) (Nice Play…barely any surface crackle)

VG+ = With a decent amount of scuffs and hairlines (with some light surface noise)

VG = Very scratched (but plays much better than the appearance seems to be)

Cover Grading:  

NM = Cover shows no seam splits, no ringwear, barely any or no edge wear.

NM- = Same as NM but may have 1 or 2 small imperfections which are not significant

VG+ = Perhaps a neatly taped seam split or two, or some creases, or some light ringwear or a combination of these

VG =  Often strong signs of ringwear, or many seam splits, or large very noticeable creases, or stains or a combination of these

G = An unappealing cover in many ways but the rareness of the album or the high quality of the vinyl makes the album still worthwhile to the listener
