Sealed | Jacket sealed in shrink wrap from the factory and has never been opened. |
NM | Appears un-played and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We rarely use this grade. |
EX | May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. |
VG+ | A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks. |
VG | Same imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. Records graded VG and above will typically not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. |
VG- | A number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a VG- grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. |
G | Multiple imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. |
