May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint or superficial marks) that will not affect play. Great shine and gloss you won't be disappointed
Very Good / VG+
A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks. May have the odd audible click in quieter sections. Will still be a great listen.
