Chainpurr Grading System

Covers graded first in listings

M New or in as new condition.

M- Very minimal marking if any.

EX Excellent condition, little wear.

VG+ Minor marking, quite acceptable.

VG Marking and signs of wear, maybe cover ring wear
but still acceptable.

VG- Very marked and getting quite beat up at this stage.

G Very badly marked, lots of scratches and maybe a slight warp. Mainly label value only or a filler but still plays with a lot of noise. Will do until a better copy comes along.
