The record is in G- condition by VJM standards. Plays without skippinng. It has multiple scuffs and scratches, some that you can feel with a fingernail. Plays with some background noise and some ticks. Includes generic brown sleeve.
I ship all 78 records in a 4in x 14in x 14in box with extra padding. 
My 78 Record Grading Guidelines (based on VJM) 
N New and unplayed
N- Nearly Mint but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ Plays like new with very, very few signs of handling such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E  Still very shiny near new looking with no visible signs of wear. A few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record. A few light scratches.
V+ Scuffs from general use have dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. 
V Moderate even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quite playable but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. 
G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- Music still prominent but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise but listening now uncomfortable.
