In good condition! Some age staining to text pages and some wear to cover from being stored. The seven albums appear to be in fine shape -- no scratches or defects of any sort that I can see.
While I am not sure about "official" grading, I rated the albums "EX" -- please examine the photographs for examples of record and sleeve condition, as well as that of the entire volume. I can see from the labels -- where records were put in the spindle -- that they were only played sparingly... some, perhaps only once or twice. Four albums are still with protective plastic inner sleeves; three are without.
With the exception of two symphonies, all recordings were made live from Carnegie Hall, NYC.
The pages at the front containing information about Toscanini and the symphonies have slight age staining -- the photograph of the page outlining the recordings displays, by far, the worst discoloration. Binding is tight.
