MINT+ : Only used when the record has never been played. The cover and packaging may be sealed or as new. NEAR MINT+ (NM+): The record looks in new condition and there are very few if any surface marks. If play graded - no surface noise. The cover and packaging look new and are in near perfect condition. This is the top mark for USED LP's EXCELLENT+ (EX+) : The record does show signs of having been played, possibly with a little background surface noise, the odd pop or click, but few if any fine hairlines or non-sounding marks. There is very little, if any, lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging has no rips, cuts, splits or tears unless stated. However, it may have a little wear and creasing, possibly a tiny amount of soiling and maybe a small amount of laminate lift. VERY GOOD+ (VG+) : The record shows sign of having been played many times, with perhaps a little deterioration in absolute sound quality. Having a number of clicks and pops, with possibly a little background surface noise, noticeable surface marks and a few light hairline scratches. Probably some soiling of the cover and with normal wear and tear. It may also include the odd spine split, cover opening cuts or splits and maybe a few extra items on the packaging such as cellotape - but without any major defects. GOOD+ (G+) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated. Usually with scratches and some distortion, it may even cause the stylus to jump or stick. As well as normal wear and tear, the cover and packaging may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, splits, cuts and rips, extra items, with probably discoloration and/or a lot of soiling to the cover / packaging. FAIR+ (F+) : The record is still just playable, but has considerable surface noise, distortion and scratches; it will most likely cause the stylus to jump and may even stick in places. The cover and packaging will suffer from major defects and will be torn, stained and / or defaced - my lowest grade possible.
