Records are graded visually and confirmed by playing. I grade 78s conservatively using the VJM scale. This means records graded N- are nearly spotless and records graded G, although considerably worn, still play with music being slightly dominant to surface noise. Specific flaws will be noted along with the grade.

N- (almost New) E+, E (Excellent, low surface noise) E-, V+, V (Very good, medium surface noise) V-, G+, G (not so Good, heavy surface noise but still plays) G-, F (Fairly bad) P (Poor)

The shipping cost is $6.00 for one 78 and $.50 for each additional 78. Please wait for an invoice from me with the correct total. Records will be sent Priority Mail if requested. The cost will vary depending on the destination. Payment will be requested at the closing of each auction listing. I will hold up to five 78s for multiple shipping. My grading is guaranteed to your satisfaction. A full refund of the winning bid (not postage) will be awarded on return of any item in its original condition within 14 days of purchase.
