All records have been cleaned using a gentle cleaning solution made for 78's that I make, on a vacuum record cleaning machine. They are then fully play tested using a 78 rpm (conical diamond) stylus and any defects noted.  All the records will arrive in archival 10" inner sleeves, inside the original sleeves with bubble wrap in between to prevent damage during shipping.  The entire set will be sealed in an archival outer sleeve to prevent any environmental damage.
Sleeve:  Hard cardboard outer covers with blue fabric spine.  Cover is beautiful with minor signs of shelf wear. Corners are slightly rounded with light rubbing alone the top and bottom edges.  The spine is in great condition, without tears or sunfading. The Lettering is Gold and still very readable. Inside covers are also in great shape with very minor foxing and owner's mark in  ink indicating that this was a gift in 1947.  The inner sleeves are very firmly attached, heavy brown paper, are not torn and show little to no wear.  
Records:
YOUR GO TO MY HEAD/I DON'T KNOW WHY: (E+)  Virtually no signs of wear, label looks like it is new, and it sounded beautiful without pops, clicks, skips or jumps.  
A GHOST OF A CHANCE/THESE FOOLISH THINGS:  (E+)  Virtually no signs of wear, label looks like it is new, and it sounded beautiful without pops, clicks, skips or jumps.  
WHY SHOUDN'T I/ TRY  A LITTLE TENDERNESS: (E) Try A Little Tenderness side had two pressing defects, a small bubble, and very faint line, neither of which impact playback.  Label looks like it is new, and it sounded beautiful without pops, clicks, skips or jumps.  
SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME/PARADISE: (E) Someone To Watch Over Me has a faint scuff that DNAP.  Label looks like it is new, and it sounded beautiful without pops, clicks, skips or jumps.

The VJM Record Grading System.

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.

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 scatch damage extensive.

F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P (78). Unplayable.

NB: Damage to labels and jackets (LP) should be noted whenever present.
