About myself: I’m a 78rpm jazz records collector from Zurich, Switzerland. You might know me from my YouTube Channel “Atticus Jazz”. Most of the records sold here on eBay were used for the restored transfers on my channel. If this is the case, you’ll find the links below which might give you an idea of the record you want to buy.

In the upcoming weeks, I will be selling some of my records from my own collection.

Grading: 

I use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading my 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).  

E+

Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.  N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.

E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable, and grooves should still be glossy and black. 

E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.

V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.

V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.

V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.

Shipping & Handling: 

If you buy only one record and pay without waiting until I have contacted you, the standard shipping price is $30,00.

If you can wait until I have contacted you, you will pay exactly the price of the postal fees.

How will this work?

First, I will ask you how you want your winnings being shipped and after that, I will send you an invoice with the estimated postal fees. After the shipment of the records, I will refund what you overpaid with PayPal.
