GRADING

Grading is conservative, using the following guidelines:

Mint (M) - Absolutely perfect, certainly never played.

Mint Minus/Near Mint (M-) - A nearly perfect record with no signs of wear.

Very Good Plus (VG+) - Shows some signs that the record was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  The record's surfaces may show slight wear and may have light scuffs or scratches that don't affect the sound.  The label may have slight ring wear, or a 'bb' hole.  If not for a couple of minor defects, this record would by Near Mint (M-).

Very Good (VG) - Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music.  Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will some scratches that will affect the sound.  Labels have minor imperfections and wear, in addition to the defects of VG+.

Very Good Minus (VG-) - Many scuffs and scratches, but still listenable.  Surface noise and groove wear will be quite noticeable.  The labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers attached.  However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, but perhaps several.

Good Plus (G+) - A record in this condition will play without skipping, but will have significant surface and scratches, as well as visible groove wear.  Tape, writing, ring wear and other label defects will start to overwhelm the item.
