Notes in brackets

Details like “3 pops on Side 1, track 1” point to one specific mark, so you know exactly where it is.

“Strong VG”

At the top end of its grade, close to the next one up.

Generic sleeve

The record comes in a plain replacement sleeve, not its original cover.

Box sets and sealed records

Box sets grade the box instead of a sleeve. New sealed records are unopened, so they don't need a grade.
