SS (Still Sealed): LP is still factory sealed. Assumed to be unplayed, but we cannot verify this unless you grant permission to open the shrinkwrap and assess condition before shipping. NM- (Near Mint Minus): LP has no visible surface wear and should play as new.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): LP has some slight surface wear (likely the result of friction against the inner sleeve) that may result in minimal surface noise but should not adversely affect play.
VG (Very Good): LP has a moderate amount of surface wear that can be expected to result in noticeable surface noise, pops and clicks.
VG- (Very Good Minus), F (Fair), P (Poor) and As-Is: LP has a considerable amount of surface wear/damage that may interfere with play. LP is not guaranteed and may simply serve to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy can be found.
Artwork (jacket, sleeve, booklet, box) assumed graded same as media unless otherwise noted.
