N     Store Stock New.    As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N-        Nearly New, 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  sleeves.

E / Excellent       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 luster 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 / Very Good     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 / Good    Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is stillhigher than surface noise.

G- ; F ; and P

The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition. We do not place these on the 10-point scale because records in this condition have little or no value. In cases where the record is extremely rare, it would be worth the C1 price.
