 Record Condition: G plus/V Minus:  Sittin' on a Log (G+) has some nasty scratches Plays with crackle and about ten scuff sounds toward the end. Got the Jitters (V Minus) plays through with light crackle no scuff sounds and no other issues. In spite of all the scuffs and scratches the sound is still solid and bassy .  I only list a record in this condition because it is still a great record to listen to!

VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognized system for grading  78s . It is used by virtually all serious 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. 

The VJM Record Grading System.

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.  

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


V-/G+ (78) Quite playable still but constant background crackle. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. see description on this one for more details


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.

I know how to pack 78's so that they arrive safe and unbroken
