Please no "remorse buyers"; if your not sure out of my description or photos, or my answers when you ask before the auction ends, please do not bid at all. I do my best to respond in time with all information i have.

Unfortunately I experienced a few remorse buyers who did not pay until i had to report that to Ebay or once they had won a bid wanted to pay less than agreed in the listing or without asking before bidding, made some reasons up not stated in my description, so again please ask all relevant issue and concerns in advance or during the listing.

The VJM Record Grading System for 78rpms:

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.

V (78)

Moderate, wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78)

Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

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..bad ( just suitable for framing).


The VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognised system for grading both 78s and LPs. It is used by virtually all jazz, blues, personality and most pre-war 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.
