See the link I have included. These are the grades used by the big collector's magazines Record Collector and Goldmine and almost all dealers use these. A sealed record is presumed to be mint- if you open it and it isn't, you can go back and see if the dealer will do something for you- he really doesn't need to because he sold it as sealed, not mint. But a good dealer would.

Now all of this applies to LPs. But the same system is used for CDs although it is a simpler situation. A CD does not wear through playing, so if the owner doesn't put fingerprints on it, it can remain looking and sounding brand new indefinitely- which is mint condition.
