Grading
VG/VG+/VG++/NM
I've graded strictly and a VG+ record will play really well but might have some surface marks. NM is as good as it gets and even unplayed old store stock gets this grade.
I've noted any particular defects and will accept returns on any items where the buyer is not completely satisfied.
