Near Mint (NM): Like new, barely played, will play perfectly.

Excellent (EX): Very close to near mint, with minor cosmetic wear. Will play perfectly.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Light cosmetic blemishes that do not affect play. Close to perfect playback.

Very Good (VG): Some light marks that may cause minor noise during playback. Still enjoyable and plays well.
