A note to grading Victrola/ Pathe/ Shellac 78 rpm discs:
Pls note that I try to be extremely conservative and consistent in my grading. All records are graded with the same criteria, regardless of genre.
I noticed that my grading seems to be more conservative than what I have seen from other sellers, so here some notes.
Surface VISUAL GRADING:
EXCELLENT - clean and shiny, as new. E minus is the same, with light scuffing.
Very Good Plus - Clean, with a little more scuffing. Some grooves spots may have some light greying. Little if any distortion.
Very Good - a clean copy, some scuffing, some greying on a single groove or a few small groove bands. Enjoyable record, maybe light distortion on some top notes.
=> Everything up to here is a great and enjoyable record
Very Good Minus - May have areas of visible wear, may have some scuffing or dulled surface. Still a great record, but ticks, pops and some distortion.
Good Plus - a worn and scuffed copy. May have other defects separately stated. Plays well, but with noise, may require filtering.
All other defects (if any: Chips, cracks, scratches, lamination cracks, label damage, needle digs) will be stated SEPARATELY.
Paypal or money order.

I have a great track record of sending very large parcels worldwide. Secure packing. Larger US parcels and International shipments are charged: Actual Postage + 5$ packing charge per parcel I came up with this shipping chart to expedite billing and shipping. However, for shipping 12$ or more, if you find that I charged more than you should pay (Postage Sticker plus 5$), pls send me a note with the amount stated on the postage sticker, and I will be happy to adjust the payment. Good shipping practice recommends to ship a minimum of 2 records for safe arrival. If you buy a single record, I will add a separate packing record to the parcel. I will ship single record parcels only to international buyers. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I have a great track record of shipping records safely worldwide. Changes of US Postal charges in May have slightly increased the US Dollar amount for shipping, but with the weakness of the US Dollar, the actual amounts you will pay in EURO, AUD, YEN etc. are basically unchanged.
