Condition

I grade my records conservatively, by visual inspection due to high volume.
SS = still sealed
NM = near mint or unplayed condition. Cover is crsip and new looking with no ring wear.
EX = only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which will not distract significantly from the sound. Cover has only slight wear, and is still in nice collectible condition.
VG+ = played often with moderate surface wear and some moderate noise - still plays well. Cover may have gentle overall wear or some ring wear.
VG = overall wear, but no skips of serious defects, more noisy sound during quiet passages. Cover is well worn, usually with considerable ring wear.
VG- = heavy wear on record and cover. Guarantee does not apply to vg- or worse condition records.
G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition. No guarantee on these records. Collectors only!
