RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED

I do not skimp on packaging 78 RPM records. I do not use flat LP mailers for 78's. If it is only one record or a combined number, all are shipped in new wide boxes designed to accommodate stiff cardboard flats, reinforced cardboard corners, bubble wrap and packaging materials. At times I can ship 78's with albums, but I prefer not to.

RECORD GRADING FOR 78's
Bargain lot items are visually graded. Individual auction records are play graded. I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I do not create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation. I do not use Docks grading definitions, I find them confusing and far too blurred for individual interpretations that may create grading disputes between seller and buyer.

nm....near mint, minimal to no surface noise and showing no major signs of wear. General groove appearance is excellent to like new and record has no imperfections.
vg+...very good plus, showing some signs of minor wear with minimal extraneous surface noise. No major imperfections. Grooves may have minor scuffs or surface scratches, at times a slight grayness, especially appearing in the louder passages. A very playable and acceptable copy.
vg....very good, somewhat worn and mishandled copy with audible extraneous surface noise. Grooves may have visual scuffs and scratches, light abrasions from sleeveless existence. Surface noise is prominent enough to impair or overwhelm music. Still a playable copy.
I do not auction poor condition 78''s with cracks, deep scratches, digs, severe edge chips, closed grooves or severely warped. I rarely list poor condition 78's, but at times will if it is a rare item. Poor 78's will generally have a below 50/50 ratio of surface noise over music and may have cracks, deep scratches, digs, edge chips and flake, flutter or warp factor and are sold as is. I do not artificially gloss any of my records.
