Vinyl record grading

Hi

I’ve recently acquired several 50’s jazz records in below-average condition. I’m not interested in keeping them, because my jazz tastes are from mainly 70’s and up and my collection is mainly VG+ to M-

The record labels are also desirable such as Atlantic, Verve, Prestige and Fantasy.

After cleaning with ultrasonic machine (hand-made by me) they sounded as if they would grade at least VG being visually graded not more than G+. Even those that grade as G play great with very minimal surface noise.

Would you price it to the sound-testing or visual testing?

Almost splitting hairs between VG and G+. Pricing is going to be on the low end either way. If it was me, I'd grade them a G but note that they were US cleaned and sound VG.
