GRADING - I grade VISUALLY unless if i notice a defect that requires me to play the record to properly describe and grade it - - The
VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognized
system for grading both 78s and LPs. It is used by virtually all serious
record dealers and collectors alike, with an easily understood sequence
of letters to show grades and a system of abbreviations to show faults
and damage.
The VJM Record Grading System.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. LP: Some wear,
scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.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. LP: Below average with
scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat
grooves.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 graying 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 scratch
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.Abbreviationssfc = surface; lbl = label; nap = not affecting
