Used Vinyl, what to look for in quality?

I just ordered a table (thanks for those that offered opinions yesterday). I got a demo Music Hall MMF-7, less then 50 hrs, with a Maestro cartridge, in mint condition, shipped for $670. Now I just need a phonostage.

I'm starting to look for some Vinyl and the used market is pretty sweet. When I pull a record from the sleeve, what do you look for to see that you're not buying a noisy beat up LP?

Scratches are rather obvious, what about smudges, dirt, fading, dull finish etc? I picked up about 7 albums over lunch and my lord I'm excited!!!!!!

Thanks!!
