N- (NEAR MINT- MINUS) Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (EXCELLENT- PLUS) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (EXCELLENT) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (EXCELLENT- MINUS) Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (VERY GOOD - PLUS) Typical condition of 78a in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V (VERY GOOD) Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (VERY GOOD - MINUS) Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+ (GOOD - PLUS) Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (GOOD) Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (GOOD - MINUS) Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F (FAIR) Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
