The record has a handful of scratches and smudges, but they mostly appear to be light and likely harmless. Side 2 has a bit more than side 1. There are one or two short scratches that could potentially be more significant, but still nothing bad enough to cause a skip or disturb the listening much. There may be a few audible pops and clicks, though, mostly noticeable in the quiet sections and between songs. VG
Insert has some significant overall wear from years of handling but no tears, stains or creases or folds. The top (opening) edge has a bit of crumpling just on that one centimeter lip that sticks up on one side. There is also some faint discoloration that makes the insert look slightly beige near the sides. It is a faint and gradual fade from the middle out, so it isn't that glaring. There are seam splits on two sides. The left split is only 3 inches long but the bottom edge has a seam split that is around 8 inches. G++
The cover still looks really good but does have a bit of wear and tear. There is Very Light ring wear visible on front and back, but only at the top and bottom middle areas, and it is fairly faint. There are the usual handful of short veins near the left and top edges as well as a couple longer, but faint, veins here and there. There are two patches on the front cover where the varnished paper is torn off, exposing the white cardboard underneath. One is about the size of a nickel and one is less then the size of the tip of your smallest finger. The 4 corner tips have wear ranging from Light to Moderate, depending on the corner. The spine edge has Moderate wear and some of the title text is worn away along that edge. The bottom (shelf) edge has Severe wear, but it can only be seen if you look at the cover from the bottom. Overall, this cover still looks pretty good. G+++
Grades that I use are G-, G, G+, G++, G+++, VG, VG+, VG++, VG+++/EX, NM. I won't be describing anything as M or MINT unless it is unopened and the packaging is completely unblemished. Records that have never been played but HAVE been opened, will be described as Near Mint or NM. These are the adjectives that I use when describing damage: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Severe, Catastrophic. To describe damage in between those ranks I say things like: "Moderate leaning towards Severe," "Moderate leaning towards light," or "In between Light and Moderate"...just for example.
