Notes

Ultrasonically cleaned using my machine. This process works great and all albums have much better sonics after cleaning.  Much quieter with much less surface noise, better dynamics and generally more enjoyable.  I have a Nitty Gritty machine and there is still a large improvement with this process after cleaning on my Nitty Gritty.  It's close to getting an upgrade in Record Grading for free.

NM -   near perfect, played rarely if ever.

VG++ - almost like new with only superficial signs of use that dont affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG++.

VG+  - vinyl may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches that don't affect the sound.

VG  -  surface noise will be noticeable,but will not overpower the music.

Good,
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
These records go for 10 to 15 percent of the Near Mint value, if you are lucky.

Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.
