Great recording of the No 1 Baseball song!

 Record Condition: Both sides V due minor scratches and general wear but still plays fine with some background surface noise 

VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognized system for grading  78s . It is used by virtually all serious record dealers and collectors alike, with an easily understood sequence of letters to show grades and a system of abbreviations to show faults and damage. 

The VJM Record Grading System.

N (78)  As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78)  Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78) Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78) Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78)  Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  

V+ (78)  V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. 

V (78)  Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. 

G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

I know how to pack 78's so that they arrive safe and unbroken
