Condition and grading:

Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record.  Any visible defects are the type that "disappear" when the record is viewed under a strong light and should not affect play. Sleeves in near mint condition will have no obvious signs of wear. Practically imperceptible ring wear may be allowed but no creases, seam splits, or other easily detected flaws will be present

Excellent (EX): A very clean record, in other words, near mint with the exception of slight, superficial signs of wear. Sleeves in this condition may have marginal defects, but will not have significant creases or splits. Otherwise, a NM cover with a cut-out hole or similar remainder mark.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A generally well-cared-for record that is noticeably less than perfect, but defects are not visually or audibly distracting. Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean. Sleeves may have some creases or ring wear, but should not have noticeably split seams.  Otherwise, an EX cover with a cut-out hole or similar remainder mark.

Very Good (VG): A used, reasonable copy to play. Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition. Surface noise may be evident and sleeves may look worn, but, still a reasonable copy that should play through with only minimal distractions.
