I'm not a professional record grader. I make a judgment of the condition of the record based on a visual inspection and having been played on my Esoteric transcription turntable. Please understand that the grade I assign is subjective.
E+ "Excellent plus." Minimal effects of age. Slightly surface noise, clicks, pops etc.
E "Excellent." Some slight evidence of age or handling (fine scratches, scuffs, rubs). Minimal groove wear. May show some very minor grey traces in grooves.
E- "Excellent minus." Very close to "E" but with slightly more wear from handling and age.
VG+ "Very good plus." Obvious wear, but not excessive. Slightly more surface noise. Not as choice as the higher grades, but what one would expect of a record that was actually used for many years. And can be still quite enjoyable.
VG "Very Good." As "very good" implies the record will still play quite well. However, there is more wear and tear than with "VG+" grade. There is moderate surface noise.
G "Good." Serviceable but not great. Quite a bit of wear.
Good luck and thanks for looking.
About Me For several decades I was an avid collector of historical artifacts that reflected some aspect of American history. I used these items, or digital versions of them, to teach 10th graders about American history. I’m now close to the end of my career and approaching retirement. So, it’s time to start the downsizing process and depart with my beloved collection. Along the way I'll be selling off other items too.
