Here's a quick grading run-down:

Near Mint (NM): 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. The LP retains it's original sheen and is
free of marks and scuffs.
     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. All corners are sharp
and all seams are 100% perfect. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it
home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+): 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.  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.

Very Good (VG): 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. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will
not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
