Here are the details of the grading system we use:

DISC (VINYL) - visual grade:
SS    = Sealed at the factory. Discs are assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is opened.
M     = No flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Label is bright, clean and unmarked.
NM   = The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. Label is bright, clean and unmarked.
E      = Discs play near perfectly but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. Vinyl is bright and shiny. Label is clean and unmarked.
VG+ = Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster. Labels may have minor imperfections but are otherwise clean.
VG    = Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuff marks that cause minor surface noise but do not overpower the music.  There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, or writing, but is easily legible.

COVER / BOX:
SS   = Still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.
M    = Perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the discs or other flaws.
NM  = Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.
E     = Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is lean and unworn and there is no ink wear.
VG+ = Cover/box is clean but may have minor writing marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.
VG    = Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been repaired with clear tape. There is moderate ring-wear but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and may be larger writing, labels or marks.
