Grading is as Follows Mint: No visable marks, unplayed condition NM: May have a mark or 2 but super clean VG++: May have light marks and scratches, nothing that catches, still smooth VG+: A degree down, meaning more marks and more noise with play but still an enjoyable listen VG: Heavy marking, nothing deep, no skips G: Basically only used for 78's. Very Heavy marking, heavy noise, can still hear the song through the noise and plays with no skips. I consider this to be a filler record and will usually only list G records if they are harder to find.
