Hello and thanks for looking I do not use the grade EX ever My grading scale based on eBay standards : Mint only sealed - Near Mint - Very Good A more detailed grading scale is on the bottom. OASIS - THE MASTERPLAN BIG BROTHER - RKIDLP009X FROM BACK COVER Cover - SEALED Vinyl - SEALED - PRESUMED MINT Details: Please look at BOTH Pictures Cover : Looks great, minor corner bump, no splits Vinyl : super heavy weight limited edition out of print Playback : I always ship within 2 days of payment. I always use proper Lp mailers with padding. If you have any questions or want more detailed pictures please let me know. I have 100 positive feedback as a seller and a buyer so please bid with confidence. No international shipping. sorry MINT M Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all. NEAR MINT NM Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole unobtrusive writing on label e.g., an X on a promo copy minor scuffing on vinyl minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. VERY GOOD VG There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label more noticeable writing on the label scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play.
