Vinyl LP Grading System (Goldmine)
MINT (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Seen about as often as unicorns are.
NEAR MINT (NM or M-) Nearly perfect, as if it just came from a retail store and was opened for the first time. NM records shiny, with no visible defects and no imperfections during playback. NM covers free of creases , folds, ring wear and seam splits of any size.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) OR EXCELLENT (E) Near Mint except for a few slight signs of wear. VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not significantly affect the listening experience; surface noise may be audible between tracts or in soft passages. Minor signs of handling OK, as well as barely noticeable ring wear. Spindle marks on labels may be present. VG+ covers have only minor wear, including seam wear or a split less than 1” inch at the bottom.
VERY GOOD (VG) More obvious flaws, including lack of original gloss, evident groove wear, light scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. Audible surface noise, especially in soft passages , or during intros and endings, but not enough to overpower the music. VG covers may have obvious ring wear, creases, seam splitting, and writing, tape or stickers.
GOOD (G) Record plays without skipping, buthas significant surface noise/scratches and visible groove wear. VG covers have serious ring wear, larger seamsplits, and possible heavier writing.
