My record grading system:

total grading: sound quality contributes 50%, wax visual shape 35%, label condition 15%; if p/s available record contributes 50%, p/s too

m- (10) just perfect

ex+ (9.5) almost perfect; very few hairline scuffs; punctually minimal sound quality loss, not really worth mentioning;labels almost perfect, minimal wear, colouring or soiling, possibly small writing, stamp or sticker or clean drill hole (note: only one of these faults, not all of them)

ex (9) some hairline scuffs, very little static or occasional crackling, no serious sound quality loss; labels in overall great shape, possibly some soiling, drill hole, small sticker, writing or stamp

vg++ = ex- (8.5) between 8 and 9

vg+ (8) the „core value“ of my grading system; literally „very good plus“; a highly enjoyable record that I would put on as a dj or at home without any hesitation or second thoughts; no constant background noise or static; very good recording quality; surface scuffs with little impact on sound quality; some soiling/discolouration, drill hole, sticker, writing and/or stamp

vg (7) slightly lower quality than vg+; still enjoyable sound quality and with some restrictions suitable for dj'ing

vg- (6) numerous scuffs; no serious scratches; reduced sound quality, i.e. continuous background noise; IMHO usually not suitable for DJ'ing but that depends on how tolerant the crowd and in-demand the record is

g+ (5) usually vg+ to ex records that have been downgraded due to one or some feelable and clearly audible scratches; no constant background noise or static; listening pleasure mostly greater than in case of vg- records; suitable for dj'ing if the clicks caused by the scratch(es) are tolerated; labels with significant flaws but not greatly damaged

g (4) serious deterioration of sound quality; background noise, static, hisses and/or pops;

numerous scuffs and general wear; labels significantly damaged or worn

g- (3) between 2 and 4

f (2) major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, possibly crack or edge chip; a gap filler but needle does not jump

p (1) no more than a gap filler; needle may even jump
