EXCELLENT EX : The cd shows some signs of having been played. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD VG : The cd has obviously been played many times but there is not any deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD G : The cd shows many marks and/or scuffs but they don t affect sound quality. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
