Conditions and Grading

first we grade record/then cover
CD GRADING:
"SS" = STILL SEALED:Presumed to be factory fresh.Sealed plastic bag or shrink
wrap that has never been opened.
"MINT" = MINT: CD, liner must be totally perfect. Nothing less can be called
mint.
"NM" = NEAR MINT: CD's, liners with few blemishes are graded "NM", or near
mint.
"VG" = VERY GOOD: CD's with minimal visual imperfections, falling halfway
between good and near mint.
"G" = GOOD: Shows signs of wear and tear but still plays fine.
LP GRADING -- Cover First then Record:
Cover:
SS (Still sealed) -- More info below.
M (Mint) -- Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played. We rarely
use this in our grading.
M- (Mint Minus) -- An LP jacket has no creases, folds,
seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes,
either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as
posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as
if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the
shrink wrap.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) -- Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some
slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my
have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole,
indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a
discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this
would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very
Good Plus record highly acceptable.
VG (Very Good) -- Picture sleeves or LP covers may be marred with writing,
stickers, tape, ring wear, discolorization, larger seam splits. However, it will
not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
G+ (Good Plus) -- A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom
or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to
overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy
in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been
seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
F (Fair) -- The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and
heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP
inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon. Except for
impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition
should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
Record Grading is as follows:
SS (Still sealed) -- More info below.
M (Mint) -- Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played. We rarely
use this in our grading.
M- (Mint Minus) -- A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade
higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly
perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no
more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other
signs of slight handling.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) -- Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may
show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light
scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not
affect the sign are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration,
but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by
repeated play.
VG (Very Good) -- Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more
pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in
soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the
music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will 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.
G (Good) or G+ (Good Plus) -- Good does not mean bad. A record in Good or
Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without
skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible
groove wear.
F (Fair) -- The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play
through without skipping or repeating.
