NB for transit I remove the record and inner sleeve from the outer sleeve to avoid sleeve splits; so it’s packed as a sandwich (outer / vinyl / inner).  It will be packed in a strong corrugated mailer for vinyl (see ebay item 231469813488).

Grading System - LP
Mint - The record looks un-played and in brand new condition
Excellent - The record has probably only been played a few times and may have a couple of very light marks which do not affect the playing quality at all
Good - The record may have slight wear but should still have good sound quality.  It may have some light scratches or light marks but no heavy scratches
Satisfactory - The record has obviously been played several times and has either scratches or marks but should still play fine (possibly with some crackle)
Poor - The record has been well played and has several scratches - should still play but probably has lots of noise or even jumps or sticks

Grading System – Cover
Mint - the cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet, or poster are in perfect condition
Excellent - the cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing
Good – the cover will have signs of human handling.  Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible.  Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking, only upon handling.  Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
Satisfactory - the cover and paper contents (eg lyric sheets) suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
Poor – both sides of the cover are present but marked and probably stuck together with tape; provides some protection of the LP from the outside world but that’s about it.

Grading system – Inner sleeve
Mint - the sleeve is in perfect condition
Excellent - the sleeve will show slight wear and/or slight creasing
Good – the sleeve will have signs of human handling.  Some more creases might be visible.  Seam splitting may be more obvious but will not yet need repair
Satisfactory - the sleeve is damaged along the edges and has some taped repairs; it may be discoloured ie not pure white
Poor – not all the sleeve is present; significant repair work evident; discoloured
