Our GRADING for pskorst (our sister 78 record ebay name) and us ( bigbillkorst ) is simplified as follows strong V+, V+, strong V, V, weak V, V- and Poor. A strong V+ in my book is going be nearly flawless--or very light flaws--I rarely do a V++--a strong V+ is going be sharp with little to very little wear. A strong V (not +) may have light scratches--nothing significant--no digs here. I suggest trying one of our strong V records or better to get an idea of where my grading is at-- I am very aware of hair cracks, rim chips that affect grooves (and will spot them) and will mention them--luckily my eye sight is good up close so I strive to have very consistent grading. Packing We have shipped over 1600 fragile 78 records since we began a year ago on ebay, and you can count on one hand the problems with damage we have had in shipping. These mishaps are very rare. We ship these antique records with great care. Peter
78RPM Decca 24551 Billie Holiday, Girls Were Made to Take Care of Boys / Weep No More strong V to V+ This circa 1948 record is in strong V to V+ condition with minor scratches/blemishes/scuffs--this is a well kept, light flawed record, it does have a nickel sized oil type stain on Girls which may do nothing or might slightly go a bit fudgy at that point, also there is what looks like a interior fracture/ hair crack near the label/dead wax (goes in about an inch into grooves) that appears it will not affect play--its almost hard to see. Graded visually. Spindle holes and labels have slight wear and there are stickers on the label. Will be in a heavy paper sleeve. See photos of both labels. Please email with any questions.
