This album set appears to be very rare, I could only find a similar one with a 45 rpm.  This album book is a set of 3 - 78 (shellac) records, but measure 12".  The cover portrays beautiful artwork by the talented Frank Decker.

Grading Conditions:    All 3 records are in E+ condition, they still have a good amount of shine and appear as though they were only ever lightly played, if ever at all.  The cover overall is in VG+ condition, even leaning toward E.  The inner lower left cover has some spotting as well as the backside of the cover.  The inner sleeves are all in E condition.

*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.
