Grading Conditions:    All 4 records still have some shine.  There are a few scuffs and light scratches on a few of the records that do not affect play.  The cover overall is in VG+ condition.  The front cover is in EX condition, the back cover is worn - the felt comes off easy due to age, also light spotting on the inside back cover.  The 4 inner sleeves are all in EX condition - there is a price written in pencil on first sleeve.

*I am not an expert on records, the grading is based on my opinion using the standard VJM 78 rpm grading system (see below).  Please take a look at all of the photos and let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any additional photos.

*I do have several other 78 Records for sale right now, including more sets, and I will be posting a lot more within the next week.  Please take a look at my other listings if interested, I am happy to combine shipping.  

This record set will be packed very carefully and shipped out to the winner within 1 business day after receipt of payment via USPS Media Mail.

78rpm Record Grading:

N  As new and 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+   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    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.
