Charles Gregory's Auction of Recorded Vocal Art
 
RECORD GRADING GUIDE
  E+    A choice copy with no wear whatsoever.
  E      Excellent. Virtually no trace of groove wear with only minimal traces of use. 
  E-    An above average record with a slight degree of groove wear, not enough to effect audio quality.
  V+   Well worn, but listenable. Surface noise is considerable.
  V-    Worn out. May still derive a certain degree of pleasure when played on the right type of equipment.
  G      A Good record is really not so good. It shows considerable wear and usage, some surface noise. 
   F      Lowest grade of condition, only rarest records would be salable in this condition.
