Records are graded visually:

*MINT CONDITION - THE ONLY TIME I USE MINT IS IF A RECORD IS FACTORY SEALED AND UNDAMAGED

*NEAR MINT CONDITION - LOOKS UNPLAYED OR RARELY PLAYED

*VERY GOOD++/EXCELLENT CONDITION - VERY LIGHT OR MINOR SURFACE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS OR PAPER MARKS CAUSED BY THE INNER SLEEVE THAT DO NOT OR HARDLY EFFECT PLAY TO EVEN MENTION. BASICALLY, A VERY CLEAN RECORD WHICH IS CLOSE TO BEING NEAR MINT.

*VERY GOOD+ CONDITION - LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE AND MAY PLAY WITH MINOR POPS. MAY HAVE LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.

*VERY GOOD CONDITION - MAY HAVE SURFACE NOISE AND LIGHT POPS BUT THE RECORD WILL PLAY COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH NO SKIPPING. STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO AND ENJOY.

*VERY GOOD- CONDITION - MAY PLAY WITH LOUDER CRACKS OR POPS THAN A VERY GOOD CONDITION RECORD AND SURFACE NOISE WILL BE LOUDER AS WELL. RECORD WILL HAVE MORE SCRATCHES OR SCUFFING THAN A VERY GOOD CONDITION RECORD. I DO KEEP RECORDS IN THIS CONDITION IF THEY ARE HARD-TO-FIND UNTIL I COME ACROSS A BETTER CONDITION COPY TO REPLACE IT WITHIN MY OWN COLLECTION.
