E-, Plays Really Nice and Clean


US MEDIA SHIPPING $6 - PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE - Item will be packed with appropriate care to ensure safe delivery.  Please note my feedback as a seller, I ship many 78s in deep boxes with proper shock absorption.  I know the desperate feeling of receiving an eagerly anticipated record in a shallow box or glorified envelope.  Won't happen with me.  See Shipping Rates below.

*Ask any questions I’ll do my best to answer as quickly as possible*

SHIPPING: PLEASE NOTE $6 SHIPPING AND CONSIDERATE HANDLING within U.S. VIA MEDIA MAIL, INCLUDES TRACKING AND PACKAGING COST.  Records over $100 will normally be upgradeded Priority Mail at no extra charge.  Priority mail is always an option at Buyer request, usually under $12. I pack the 78 to float safely in in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper, floating in a roughly 12x12x6 box.  Firm but not to the point of fearing for the record's well being.  I don't tape the edges of records. I reuse boxes and packing materials but will use new materials at buyer request.  Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, buyer pays insurance for purchases over $35, insurance is at buyer request below that amount.

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

• N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
• N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
• E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
• E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
• E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
• V+. 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. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
• V-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
• G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
• G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
• G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
• F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
• P. Unplayable
