I use the Goldmine Records Grading System for grading LPs and 45 RPMs. All methods currently in use for the grading of LPs and 45 RPMs are based in some way on this system.

M

Mint – Absolutely perfect in every way. I don't use this in grading records. Still sealed would possibly be graded M. I usually grade still sealed records as NM.

NM

Near Mint – A nearly perfect record. It probably has been played, but shows no signs of obvious wear.

The LP Cover has no creases, folds, split seams, or other noticeable defects. Cut-outs on such records will be noted.

A 45 RPM or EP sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

VG+

Very Good Plus -Shows some signs that it has been played but handled with care. Surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that doesn't effect the playing. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay.

The Label may have some ring wear or discoloration.

Picture Sleeves and LP inner sleeves may have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP Cover may have slight signs of wear also and may have a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

VG

Very Good – Many defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Groove wear may start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same may be true of Picture Sleeves or Album Covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time – only two or three of them.

G

Good – Good does not mean Bad. A record in Good condition can be put on a turntable and will play through without skipping, but it may have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.

A Cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be visible.

F

Fair – I only use this grade on impossibly rare records. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating.

The Picture Sleeve is water damaged, spit on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP Cover barely keeps the LP inside it.
