Unless noted, Records are visually graded for accuracy.

Grading:

M: Vinyl or jacket is absolutely flawless (I rarely use this grade).
NM-: Vinyl is almost unplayed.  Jacket shows very very minor wear.
VG++: Vinyl contains only a few very slight imperfections, likely only noticeable under direct light. jacket is nearly flawless and contains only very minor wear.
VG+: Vinyl will have a small amount of scuffs and scratches, but they are not deep and will have a minimal impact on sound (very little or no surface noise unless otherwise noted). Jacket will be intact and in very acceptable shape. However, it may show light ringwear, minor edge / corner wear, and / or a minor seam split (less than two inches).
VG: Vinyl will be visibly used, but likely only under direct light - will play well with a tolerable amount of surface noise (unless noted).  Jacket will contain more defined wear in terms of ring, edge and corner wear.
VG-: Vinyl has not been properly cared for and will contain many scuffs and scratches and play with surface noise.  Jacket many contain minor water / mold damage as well as very defined seam, edge and ring wear.

G or below: Vinyl has not been properly cared for and contains surface marks, scratches that greatly affects the play of the record. This record will only be a play copy.  Jacket is almost useless.  This is the lowest grading that I will use.
