This record has been in my personal collection for many years, and is now up for AUCTION.
CONDITION: E+ / E EXCELLENT COPY
STANDARD 78 RPM GRADING:
N- NEW MINUS - Highest grade used. Appears unplayed, or barely played. Full luster. Slight signs of handling or storage are possible.
E+ EXCELLENT PLUS - Full luster remains. Very few careful plays. Slightest indications of use or handling.
E EXCELLENT - Almost full luster. Mild signs of play, but no serious wear, scratches or scuffs.
E- EXCELLENT MINUS - Some luster remains, but record has some apparent wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still a pretty nice 78, acceptable to most collectors.
V+ VERY GOOD PLUS - Record has considerable wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still plays pretty well but is clearly a used record. An AVERAGE USED 78 is in the V to V+ range.
V VERY GOOD - Mostly or fully gray from use. Obvious surface noise but probably still plays pretty well. Scuffing and / or scratches more prominent.
V- VERY GOOD MINUS - Further deterioration. Fully gray with deeper wear and heavy surface noise.
G GOOD - Very rough, deeply gray, surface noise about equal to music.
F FAIR - Really beat 78 that may skip. Surface noise exceeds music.
SHIPPING DETAILS: 78s require special attention. Deep, oversized boxes are used. The 78s are sandwiched between at least four cardboard filler pads, and packed with Styrofoam peanuts and/or bubble wrap for safe arrival. I do not use LP mailers or 10 inch pizza box mailers. For 78's, I only use NEW BOXES from U-Line. My cost is about $5.00 for a box, filler pads, packing peanuts, tape and stickers.
