DISC GRADING

MINT (if not specified)

Sealed and mint on the outside. Discs should be in perfect condition unless damaged from shipping and during manufacture.

NM+

Small imperfections such as light scratches or mark on discs. Can only see from close inspections and usually do not affect the performance of discs. Discs should still play clear and crisp.

NM-

Relatively small imperfections such as light scratches or mark on discs. Can only see from close inspections and usually do not affect the performance of discs. The amount of imperfections is usually more than NM+, but in general discs should still play clear and sometimes with static noise.

VG+

Imperfections such as scratches or mark on discs that are apparent under inspection. The amount of imperfections is usually more than NM-, but in general discs should still play well but with more static and surface noise. People who do not like the aged "vinyl sound" probably don't like the sound quality of a VG+ disc.
