Grading as follows:
NM - spotless record. One tiny mark/scuff/flame/scratch and it's EX many new records will not make this grade.
EX - Basically everything that will look good and play without or max a couple distortions (cracks, pops etc).
VG+ - Will have marks that very moderately will affect play. Might have fairly large amount cosmetic marks not affecting play)
VG - Lots of marks, should still play fairly well but not perfect.
IF YOU NEED TO HEAR ANYTHING JUST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL ARRANGE WITH SOUNDFILES!!
