It is hard to understand the motivation for Leonard Nimoy recording and issuing these records.  I get the whole vanity thing but these recordings add exactly nothing to the world's musical canon.  Even in the forgiving circle of campfire singing I think these would elicit a few cringes.  Collectors covet them, I assume for the camp and celebrity factor, although I am quite sure that is not what was on Mr. Nimoy's mind when he released them (unlike William Shatner's 60's recordings, which I am convinced were issued to warm us up for his Priceline commercials).  Anyway, here are a couple of Nimoy's records.  The better of the two, an excellent copy, is "The New World of Leonard Nimoy" (Dot 25966): vinyl grades NM, labels grade NM, outer sleeve is still in shrink and likewise grades NM.  No cut corners, no bullet holes, no saw marks - you will be hard pressed to come up with a better copy.  The other record is "Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space" (Dot 3794), which I do believe Nimoy disowned.  This vinyl grades VG with multiple light hairlines, none of which can be felt or interfere with playback.  Labels grade VG+ with light rubbing wear.  Includes original inner sleeve.  Outer sleeve grades VG with moderate edge wear, light ring wear, no splits.  Live long and prosper.

• Mint (M) (only if sealed).  Not used for 7".
• Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear.
• Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade.
• Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches but will play through without skipping, may be slight warping but will play through (without having to tape a penny to the tonearm like the old days!) and nothing that will cause a significant bobbing of the tone arm, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, and/or ring wear.  This is a common grade for older 45's - they were often stored outside of the sleeve which lead to multiple light surface hairline scratches which have not caused significant damage to the vinyl grooves - they will still afford an enjoyable listen.
• Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade.  Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
