Very Good Plus, VG+: Vinyl plays all the way through, no jumps or sticking with very light occasional background noise. Noise is only a couple of light pops or very occasional crackle, does not affect enjoyment of the record. Vinyl is shiny but does show some light dulling from use, not as shiny as when new. Vinyl may have some light scratches, scuffs and  paper rubs but is not covered  with scratches and the scratches look like they will not significantly alter the sound.

Very Good, VG: Vinyl plays all the way through, no jumps or sticking, although anti-skating adjustments may have been used to prevent this.  Plays with light background noise. Noise will be light pops or consistant light crackle. The record will still be very listenable but noise will be  apparent. Vinyl will have dulling, scratches and scuffs.

Some scratches may appear fairly deep and will look like the sound will be significantly affected.

Good, G: Vinyl will play although there may or may not be jumps or sticking. Plays with loud background noise, the sound quality is significantly affected, to the point it is not enjoyable to listen to.Vinyl will look like it will barely play, with scratches covering the surface, many very deep. I will not list any records in this category unless they are the rarest of rare.
