Note: This record was part of a collection I purchased from a Mobile Alabama estate. I have many 78 records I will be offering up over the next few weeks. Please listen to the actual record tracks below and ask questions prior to bidding. The 78 records I will be offering up were played by me using an Innovative Tech Record Player and a 3 mil (.003) stylus jewel used exclusively for 78 records. 
Shipping will be $5.00 (media mail with tracking) packaged safely & properly to prevent damage or breaking (10" double corrugated cardboard squares two on bottom/two on top arranged in opposite directions with record in sleeve sandwiched between the squares and placed in a larger box to ship). No returns accepted. Good luck bidding!

The VJM Record Grading System.

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

N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78). 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.
