vinyl record on the outside or inside of album cover during shipment.  
I do understand this preference can vary with Vinyl buyers and collectors.

A Personal Note:  
Although I have not been a Vinyl Record Dealer/Collector since   
the mid 1980's and early 1990's, I still know my vinyl pretty well.      
I will always give honest and accurate details on Vinyl Conditions.   
                                         

((( MY PERSONAL VINYL CONDITIONS GUIDE )))

(All vinyl records I sell are play graded. As you probably know,
sometimes a record can look great but not play great and vice versa)

The Guide Below Is A Good Honest General Idea On Vinyl Conditions.      
However, PLEASE Always Read My Full Details Above As Well.      

MINT : "UN-PLAYED" STILL SEALED      
(NOTE, SOME IMPORTS ARE NOT SEALED WHEN NEW)             

N/M "NEAR MINT" : PLAYS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS with only slight hint of
sleeve scuffs under a strong light and hardly any surface noise "If any".

VG+ "VERY GOOD PLUS" : STILL PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY with only light
occasional surface noise. Light sleeve scuffs/marks may be visible.
                    
VG "VERY GOOD"  A very common grade in used vinyl.
Most vinyl I list as VG play much better then they look.
Might have more signs of wear such as light marks, scuffs and/or scratches. 
Will play all the way through with no skipping but will have occasional
surface noise. Surface noise naturally will be mostly audible during soft
passages and/or between tracks including song intros and fades.
Still a nice desirable and fully enjoyable playing record for most listeners.

G "GOOD : First of all, Good should Not mean Bad. A vinyl record in 
Good condition will play through without skipping. However there will
be surface noise and at times "might" be somewhat annoying but still
overall enjoyable listening to the casual music listener. (Still worth playing) 
Might have areas of needle burn/groove damage, but will play though.
(In short, A Good Record is a filler until you get something better) 
                   
F/P "FAIR/POOR" - Same as "G" but might skip in some areas 
(I will always give full honest details on any such vinyl records)

PLEASE NOTE : I usually will NOT list anything in F/P    
unless it's something very collectible and/or in demand.     

                     
Definitions :  
                             
Surface Noise =
Typical little pops/ticks/snaps sometimes heard during playback especially      
during soft quiet passages between tracks and/or song intros and fades.     
                              
Forward Skip and/or Back Skip =
First of all any type of skip can be annoying. A "forward skip" is simply  
where the stylus/needle glides over the groove in a forward direction.  
A "back skip" is when the stylus/needle glides back over a groove 
causing  a continues "repeating" skip thus the need for the listener 
to manually lift the stylus/needle to advance the playback.      
               
Needle Burn =         
Areas of the vinyl groove that has been played with a chipped and/or damaged needle/stylus.           
Or from playing a 33 or 45 rpm record with the wrong type of needle/stylus such as a thicker 78rpm type.      
Thus the record having a "hissing" type sound during playback. This can also happen as a result of      
having the weight of the tone-arm too heavy causing the needle/stylus to dig into the groove.
