A note on grading Victrola/ Pathe/ Shellac 78 rpm discs:
Pls note that I try to be extremely conservative and consistent in my grading. All records are graded with the same criteria, regardless of genre.
I noticed that my grading seems to be more conservative than what I have seen from other sellers, so here some notes.
Surface VISUAL GRADING:
EXCELLENT - clean and shiny, as new. E minus is the same, with light scuffing.
Very Good Plus - Clean, with a little more scuffing. Some grooves spots may have some light greying. Little if any distortion.
Very Good - a clean copy, some scuffing, some greying on a single groove or a few small groove bands. Enjoyable record, maybe light distortion on some top notes.
=> Everything up to here is a great and enjoyable record
Very Good Minus - May have areas of visible wear, may have some scuffing or lightly dulled surface. Still a great record, but ticks, pops and some distortion.
Good Plus - a worn and scuffed copy. May have other defects separately stated. Plays well, but with noise, may require filtering.
All other defects (if any: Chips, cracks, scratches, lamination cracks, label damage, needle digs) will be stated SEPARATELY.
Paypal or money order.
