Grading

My grading system for 78 records is the N,E,V,G system.

The following definitions for this system are from Docks Record Guides.

New (N) : Apparently unplayed and showing no signs of wear.

Excellent (E): Showing only slight wear.

Playing surfaces still retain much of their original shine.

Surface noise is minimal.

Very Good (V): Somewhat more worn than an excellent record,

slight grayness appearing in the grooves, especially in louder passages.

Still a fairly clean and acceptable copy.

Surface and extraneous noise is noticeable, but does not overwhelm the music.

Good (G): A misnomer. A “good” record is really not so good.

It shows considerable wear and usage, grayness in the grooves,

random mars and light abrasions from a sleeveless existence.

Surface noise is prominent enough to impair enjoyment of the music.

Fair (F) and Poor (P) indicate the lowest grades of the condition code.

Since only the rarest records would be saleable in these grades, they appear infrequently.

Plus and minus signs are often suffixed to above grades to indicate a somewhat better or worse grade, when appropriate.

Packing & Shipping

All records are professionally packed. I use oversize new boxes. I tape two cardboard mailers, one on each side of the record. I put plenty of bubblewrap over that and then pack it in the oversize box using crumpled newspaper as cushion.
