EXCELLENT (EX)

These records will show faint signs of wear such as light scratches/blemishes/scuffs. However the marks are superficial for the most part and should not affect the quality of the sound too much. An Excellent record will play with little surface noise (if any) and will have a great listening experience.

The jacket can have more pronounced ring wear, shelf wear, stickers, marks, staining, seam splits on any or all 3 sides but they are still fairly intact, writing, cuts, and discoloration.

GOOD PLUS (G+)

Significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves.
