Visual Grading:

I am experienced at selling and shipping 78rpm shellac discs.  I have never had a 78 arrive broken.  Shellac 78s will be shipped between two pieces of cardboard, then bubble wrapped and set in a 12" x 4" x 12" over-sized box. Bid with confidence.  78s do ship with a 10" sleeve, though not necessarily a company sleeve particular to the record label.  45s and 78s can ship together for savings on total shipping cost.  Buyers should presume that most records will need a light cleaning before playing.

(PLEASE REQUEST PAYMENT TOTAL when you're finished bidding. Thanks!)

PACKAGING:  I ship all LPs in boxes designed specifically for the purpose.  When shipping a single LP, I also include a cardboard filler to thicken the package.  I always ship the LP outside of the sleeve, with vinyl and sleeve inside of an outer plastic sleeve.  When shipping more than one LP, additional cardboard may not be used if the package is thick enough.  This is pretty well the best that anyone can do in packing an LP record for shipping.  That said, buyers should realize that how the package is handled by the USPS or other postal services around the world is out of the seller's control and very occasionally, records can be damaged in shipping, no matter how well a record is packaged. 

GRADING:

SS (Still Sealed) - Never opened. (I do not believe in grading opened LPs or 45s as "Mint".  A "Mint" record is still sealed.)

NM (Near Mint)  - a near perfect, probably unplayed record.  might be dusty or have a light fingerprint, but has no marks that can be seen.

NM- (Near Mint minus) - absolutely clean with at most a few very superficial marks that have no effect on playback.

VG++ - Super clean and very lightly played.  

VG+ (Very Good Plus) - the record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little deterioration in sound quality.

VG  (Very Good) - a well used copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages.  A VG record may have very small marks that can be felt, but feelable marks will always be specifically noted in my listings)

VG- (Very Good minus)  - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.  music still dominates over any background noise or pops.  

G (good) - still a playable record without jumps or marks that stick, but a record in this condition will have significant surface noise, pops and other distractions.  

SATISFACTION:

I do my best to grade accurately.  If you are unhappy with any part of your transaction, please contact me before leaving feedback.  I am confident that any problem can be resolved.  It's my intent that buyers are happy with their purchase.  Returns are accepted for a full refund, minus shipping costs.
