HAPPY NEWS FOR OUR REGULARS: ABOUT 4YEARS AGO, A LAW FIRM OUT OF EAST DETROIT HAD INVITED US TO BUY ABOUT 7,000 UNIQUE COLLECTOR'S RPM RECORDS. WE WERE SURPRISED AT THE RARITY OF TITLES AND THE ORDERNESS OF COLLECTION. BESIDE THE POUND-FOR-POUND TITLES, THERE ARE WHITE LABEL PROMOS, RARE GOVERNMENT WORK-FOR-HIRES, AND THEN BLUES & JAZZ. MOST RECORDS DATED BACK TO 20's, 30"s, 40's, AND 50's; PLUS THEN, A LOT OF 45 SINGLES OF OLD TIMES. WE WERE ALSO IMPRESSED THAT MOST OF THESE RECORDS HAD NEVER BEEN TOUCHED OR USED. THIS MILLIONAIRE RECORD COLLECTOR SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN BORN TO JUST ONE THING .... TO COLLECT RECORDS. WE QUICKLY HAULED THIS INVENTORY DOWN TO TEXAS THRU THE RAILROAD. FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON WE ARE OPENING THE FIRST BOX AND START TO LIST ON eBAY. BECAUSE THESE INVENTORY WAS CAREFULLY PACKED WITH CUSIONS, IT WILL BE CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON AVAILABLE TITLES. WE URGE VIEWERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO MISS A BIT TO KEEP UP WITH OUR LISTINGS FROM DAY TO DAY, AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST NOT TO INTERRUPT LISTINGS OF 78 RPM IN OUR PERIODICAL UPLOADING. THANKS YOU!

HOW TO GRADE 78 RPM

How We Grade 78 RPM Records

We grade 78 rpm records on a different scale than 45s and LPs. We try to follow VJM's guidelines:

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+: An average condition 78 in which scuffs and genral 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 scatch damage extensive.

F: Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P: Unplayable.
