I grade my albums based on the Goldmine Record Album Grading system (and I am very conservative)

*******************************************************************************************************************
Goldmine's Record Album Grading System
How to Grade:  Look at everything about a record -- Its playing surface, its label, its edges -- under a strong light.
Then, based on your overall impression, give it a grade based on the following criteria:
:

    Mint (M):  Absolutely perfect in every way -- certainly never played,
possibly even still sealed  (More on still sealed under "Other considerations").
Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

    Near Mint (NM or M-):  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 should show no obvious signs of wear.  A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should  have no more
than the most minor  defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or  other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket should have no creases,folds, seam splits orany other noticeable similar defect.
No cut-out holes, either.  And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts,
such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.   Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition
 looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and  removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E):  A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor
things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those
who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record,
especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+)

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 sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves
will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split.
An LP jacket may 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 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.
A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for "Very Good Plus" is "Excellent."

    Very Good (VG):  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.  

Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a 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 these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

    Good (G), Good Plus (G+):  Good does not mean Bad! 

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be
put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear
(on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine.
Tape, writing, ring  wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. 
Pass it up, but if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price
is right, get it... but keep looking to upgrade.


    Poor (P), Fair (F):  The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating.
The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing.
The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it.  Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and  written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition
should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
