The record is as new. The cover and any inserts should be in perfect condition. I only use this for still sealed and items that have been bought brand new.
The record is near-mint, there is no damage or visible surface marking. Under bright Light you may see fine lines on the record, caused by rubbing on the paper sleeve.
The Cover and inserts are undamaged.
Excellent EX
The record may show some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there is no appreciable lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or light creasing.
Very Good Plus VG+
There may be fairly visible surface markings under bright light but the sound quality if the record is not adversely affected.
The cover and inserts may have more noticeable creasing, light ring wear or a small sticker tear etc
Very Good VG
The record has obviously been played a lot, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality (e.g. Jumps, sticks, constant clicks etc) despite surface marks and some light scratches.
Also used where the record has suffered perhaps one or more visible light scratches, but is otherwise in decent condition.
The cover may be creased a little and/or frayed at the opening show signs of ring wear etc. Any defects of note will be highlighted e.g. split seam etc
