mint- : record and jacket in exceptional condition - virtually same as a new copy - only applied to really outstanding items.

near mint : record and jacket appears in excellent condition - closer examination will show evidence of ownership - lonely scuffs which does not affect play - no ticks - no surface noise - full glossy surface - only a few spindle hole marks - probably the top grading for used records! - jacket in perfect condition apart from minimal edge/ring wear.

very good++ (or NM-) : extremely nice. Would be NM, except for a couple of light hairline scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play.

very good+ : record shows a few scuffs and surface scratches causing occasional ticks - bright and clean surface - spindle hole marks; jacket with edge/ring wear - bended corners - stickers - cutouts - no mechanical defaults.

very good:  a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, ticks, pops, etc.

good : record with scuffs and scratches causing occasional ticks and pops (non revealing!) without skipping - vinyl surface not glossy - spindle hole marks - pressing defaults (bulb) - still a listenable item; jacket with small defects as ripped off stickers - taped seams.

fair : record with scratches causing ticks and pops - occasional revealing ones! - surface noise - lonely offered if item is very rare; jacket with mechanical defaults.
