Grading Terminology
SS Still Sealed - in original factory shrink wrap.
M Mint - I RARELY use this grade - once an item is handled it's usually no longer MINT. When used, MINT indicates absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played.
NM Near Mint - a near perfect, probably unplayed record. NM covers have no creases, folds, seam splits or signs of wear. A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
VG+ Very Good Plus - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector. Except for a couple of minor things, this would be near mint. VG+ covers are close to their Near Mint counterparts but will be marred in some fashion with some signs of handling and/or wear at the most vulnerable areas. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
