Very Good Plus (VG+)

Condition: A well-cared-for record with minimal signs of play. May have light scuffs or hairline scratches that are cosmetic and do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that don’t affect playback are acceptable.

Audio quality: May have the slightest background crackle, but no significant surface noise. For many collectors who want to play their records, a VG+ record is the ideal standard.
