Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
More on still sealed under Other Considerations .
Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.Near Mint NM or M- A nearly perfect record.
Many dealers won t give a grade higher than this implying perhaps correctly that no record is ever truly perfect.
The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects.
No cut-out holes, either.
And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.Very Good Plus VG Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value.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.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.
Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK .The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.
An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good VG Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value.
Many of the defects found in a VG record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.
Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail that will affect the sound.
Good G , Good Plus G Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value.
Good does not mean Bad A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white .
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine.
Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
It is a common item, you ll probably find another copy in better shape eventually.
Pass it up.
But, if it s something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
Poor P , Fair F Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price.
The record is cracked, badly warped, and won t play through without skipping or repeating.
The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing.
The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it.
Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
