Vinyl Record Grading Scale

Sealed  Jacket sealed closed/shut  in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is" NM  Appears unplayed and will have no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We rarely use this grade. 
VG++  This may have one or two visible imperfections, (sleeve scuffs, very light  scratches or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. VG+  Has 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 not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail.  VG-  Has 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  Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. 

All of our records are visually graded by our owner using a bright lamp and light on a well-calibrated turntable.
