78 RPM Grading Info:

N  As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N-   Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+    Plays like new, with a few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E   Still very shiny, near new looking, with few visible signs of wear, but a few scuffs and scratches.

E-  Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, may have some light scuffs/scratches and/or surface noise.

V+    An average condition 78 in which scuffs and 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 still, 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 scratch damage extensive.

F  Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P  Unplayable.
