Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Very Good Plus (VG+) Vinyl Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. Tape is likely new, free of any wear or damage. Cassette Sleeve should be totally crisp and clean with only the slightest evidence of handling. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect.
No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.
Near Mint (NM or M-) Vinyl A nearly perfect record. This grade should be used sparingly, if at all. Used sparingly as a grade, should be free of even the slightest blemishes and/or defects. Cassette is brand new, and professionally produced. Cassette J-Card is crisp, clean, and perfect in every way. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No scuffs/scratches unplayed - possibly still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Grading: Mint (M) Vinyl Absolutely perfect in every way.
