Primary Grading Standards
Mint (M): Perfect, often sealed, no scratches or defects.
Near Mint (NM or M-): Almost perfect, maybe played once or twice.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows minor signs of wear, scuffs, or light surface noise.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable surface noise, visible marks, but plays through without skipping.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Significant wear, scratches, and noise, but not totally trashed.
Poor (P) / Fair (F): Heavily damaged, likely skips or sticks.
Key Considerations for Grading
Visual vs. Play-Tested: Most records are visually inspected, though playing them helps identify hidden audio issues.
Vinyl Condition: Surface marks, scuffs, scratches, and warping are the primary factors for the disc itself.
Sleeve Condition: Covers are checked for ring wear, seam splits, writing, and corner dings.
Cleaning: Cleaning records with proper brushes and solutions can sometimes improve the grade, as seen on the Pro-ject turntable
