CODES:
SS - Still Sealed - A factory sealed lp, never opened or played
M Mint - We will hardly ever use this term, as we don't believe a record can be "perfect"
M- Mint Minus - This record is in such good shape we can't tell if it's ever been played -no spindle marks, clean as a freshly unsealed lp.
NM Near Mint - This is a record that looks brand new, although it may have been played a few times - it may show minor spindle marks on the label, but no more wear should be seen. No visible scratches or problems and show full vinyl gloss.
VG+ Very Good, plus - this is a record that has been played. It should have show very little wear, have perhaps light scratches, but nothing major. It should play well and be an enjoyable listening experience
VG Very Good - A record that has been played a lot, but carefully handled, it may have a few scratches and a minor defect or two. It should still play well and be enjoyable.
VG- Very Good Minus - Record will have several flaws or scratches, plays with surface noise, but doesn't overwhelm the sound.
G Good - A record that's been played and abused - noisy, scratchy, but it still plays and you can still hear the music.
G- Good minus - Great for candy dishes and skeet shooting, at least you can say you have this record (But why????)
Standards for grading the Jacket:
NA Does Not Apply - This record does not have a printed jacket, comes with a generic sleeve.
M- Mint Minus - a like new cover, picture clear, no defects noted
