Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.

Vinyl: The record has been played regularly, but relatively carefully. There may be visual marks on the disc that are beginning to sound. eg faint crackles on one or two tracks.
Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VG+ Very Good Plus
Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but
will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only
"barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the
begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
Cover: Can include minor bending, slight visible ring wear, minor splits, name written on sleeve. Normal wear and tear, but no damage to the visual beauty of the sleeve.

VG Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only
occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the
music being listened to.
Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams.
If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings,
but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a "VG",
the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.
G+ Good Plus
Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to
make the music completely unlistenable or unenjoyable to the
casual listener.
