• Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way.
• Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
• Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.

• Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record.

 The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

• The Sleeve:
• A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
• An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
• Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

• Very Good Plus (VG+)  
• A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
• Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experiences.
• Slight warps that do not affect the sound are “OK”.
• The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
• The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
• The Sleeve:
• Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will 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 be marred by a cut-out hole.
• In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

• Very Good (VG)

•                     Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.
• Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
• Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
• The Sleeve:
• Picture sleeves or LP covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
• However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
