Hello,
I am selling surplus records from my collection. While I have been collecting 78rpm records for over 20 years, I am not a dealer. Rest assured that you will buy and bid safely. I have sold hundreds of records on ebay over the years and bought many more, thus I know how pack my records very well.

Check out Radio Dismuke for some great music

E   Very shiny, a few very light scuffs or scratches possible. No visible wear

E-  A mostly Excellent record.
Has minor defects that should not be audible when played. Still  Shiny. A few light scuffs and might have light wear.


V++  A Little more wear and scuffing than an E-, but still a very nice record.

V+  Still a good amount of shine, some scuffing, light scratching and light wear. Still a very enjoyable record that plays well.


V  Plays OK, music not harmed by noise, but there is some. Scuffing, light to moderate scratching, and light to moderate groove wear.

V- Surface noise noticeable, but not to the point that it overwhelms the music. Full of random mars and light abrasions. Moderate groove wear possible. Along with scuffing and scratching. It will still play. Minor defects might include digs and edge chips (not in the grooves)

F Very worn, Might not be playable

P  A Bad record.
Trashed out by defects.  Probably unplayable with any enjoyment.
