The record ratings used are as follows; according to the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide UK :
Excellent: " EX"  The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
"EX+" This rating usually indicates a real shiny 78 RPM with hardly any marks on the playing surface.
"EX-" The record will show signs of a scuffed playing surface but with no deep scratches and with only minor greying/worn looking patches.
Very Good " VG" A "VG" record has been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional scratch.
Many 78s are found in condition "VG".Those that sound pleasant enough ,even with the usual background hiss and a bit of sound deterioration,can be graded VG+. Those records which are still just listenable but tough on the ears are graded VG-.
"Good" A "Good" record has been played many times and the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
"Fair" A record which is just playable.Only great rarities should be sold in this condition.
"Poor" Will not play properly due to scratches,bad surface noise etc.
"Bad" The record is unplayable or even broken.The record might be rare though or of historical interest which makes it worth while keeping .It could be of a unique radio broadcasting or it might have a very beautiful or unusual label.
