M mint is reserved for unplayed, flawless stock copies. M- mint minus is the highest grade for a record in beautiful shape. EX excellent means there s a minor flaw on the sleeve small crease, price sticker or disc fingerprint, harmless scratch . VG very good plus means a sleeve has minor shop wear is creased and/or shows a ring impression, and the disc shows cosmetic signs of handling. VG very good means not for the anal-retentive. The sleeve shows multiple flaws sticker tear, seam split, ring wear, rumpled top and the disc has surface noise no skips or thunderous pops and multiple small scratches.
