Grading Scale

All Records are visually graded using a bright light and VJM standards

*Note* - Records May Need to Be Cleaned for Highest Fidelity

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. 

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.

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.

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 scratch damage extensive.

F (78)

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

P (78)

Unplayable.
