All records are visually graded under bright light.
Mint is only used for sealed records or records that we are certain have never been played.
NM or Near Mint is for the most part as good as it gets No marks and will play clean with no noise unless inherent in the pressing.
EX or Excellent will have light surface marks and some light background noise in spots and/or a couple light clicks or ticks.
VG Overall an Excellent copy with light surface marks, but with something that distracts, like a small scratch that makes a few pops or a few light repetitive clicks.
VG Consistent background noise or a few pops. No skips or sticking. Still a playable copy.
VG- will have problems. Noise will dominate. May have quite a few pops and possibly a quick skip. Groove distortion possible.
G Our lowest grade and is actually a poor record.
