Visual Grading System Please note my grading is a visual grade only unless otherwise noted.  I DO NOT play test records.  This is a visual grade ONLY for the record vinyl itself.  Condition of the album jacket is separate and is located in the auction description as well as a separate grade above.
"SS" --- STILL SEALED--for the top level collector, the name speaks for itself "M" --- MINT -- a near perfect or unplayed record.  The record may have been played but there are no visible marks, smudges or hairline marks on the record.  Top quality! "NM" ---NEAR MINT-- in factory fresh condition, like new no visible scratches.  Collector level album. "EX+" ---EXCELLENT PLUS-- pretty to  like new with only superficial signs of use, very very light scuffs, (one or two).  Very acceptable as a collector level album   "EX" ---EXCELLENT--- a used, reasonable copy, shows slight signs of wear, very very light scuffs "VG+" ---VERY GOOD PLUS-- there are obvious signs of wear and some minor scuffs, light scratches (not a deep scratch that would affect the play), but still in nice condition "VG" ---VERY GOOD--- SIgnificant wear with marks and scratches on the record, this will create surface noise while playing, but still plays good, skips may be possible but not excessive "G" --- GOOD ---In the record world it has been said "Good" is not good".  Many good records are playable but are far from collector level condition.
