If you're curious as to how we grade records:

Mint

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly has never been played or is sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Nearly perfect. Vinyl still has its original luster and shine. May have a superficial scuff or sleeve mark visible under bright light, but it does not affect play.

Excellent / Very Good Plus (Ex/VG+)

Still visually clean with minimal signs of use, possibly a few light paper scuffs. May have slight surface noise or occasional pop—especially in quiet sections—but should not overpower the music.

Very Good (VG)

Surface noise and some pops or clicks. May have scratches or groove wear that effect, but don't overpower the sound. Playable but not pristine.

Good (G)

Heavy surface wear and scratches. Constant background noise, loud pops, or clicks. Playability is compromised but possible. Record can still play through without skipping. We try to avoid selling records that skip.

Fair (F)

Badly damaged with deep scratches, cracks, warps, or significant skips. Sound quality is poor or unlistenable. Might not even play through completely. We don't offer records in this condition unless they're extremely rare and someone is seeking it out specifically. Even then, they'd be marked down.
