This listing is for Bing Crosby "Merry Christmas" 1951 DECCA Box Set DL 5019 - Four 78rpm Record Set . This Bing Crosby "Merry Christmas" 1951 DECCA Box Set is in Good Condition showing normal wear. The individual 78 rpm records are in very good to very good + condition. Please See the Goldmine Record Grading Standard below. The box is missing most of the side label (See Image 3) and the corners have been repaired. The Play List is shown on Image 4.
Mint
(M) - Perfect in every way. Certainly never been
played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-) - Shows no obvious signs of wear.
Very Good Plus (VG+)- A Very Good Plus record shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Very
Good (VG) - Many of the defects found
in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be
evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and
fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be
noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail)
that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or
stickers (or their residue) attached.
Good
(G), Good Plus (G+) - A record in
Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through
without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and
visible groove wear
