Visual
"78 RPM Album Grading Standards" as follows:
- Mint ( M ) ~ Perfect
in every way. Never been played. Normally " STILL SEALED ".
- Near Mint- ( NM- ) ~ The shellac or vinyl
looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times, if ever!
May show an extremely slight surface mar.
- Excellent ( EX ) ~ May show some slight
evidence of having been played a few times.
- Very Good Plus ( VG+ ) ~ May show a few
faults. A little rub; slight audible marks; or a little background
crackle may occur. Light surface scuffs, scratches, or spindle marks
may be present. New 78 RPM record sheen has been diminished.
- Very Good ( VG ) ~ It has seen a bit of life but is
still usable. Light pops and clicks; a jacket or inner sleeve split;
and/or visible scratches may be present. Label wear is quite often
present. You can still listen to the album and enjoy looking at it;
but it is visually and audibly " USED ".
- I will
rarely offer a 78 RPM record that would grade below these standards.
When I do, it is strictly because of the collectability of the particular
record or album.
- Any
reference to an evaluation of a jacket or sleeve should be disregarded by
all buyers. Beginning 5/11/2021; eBay made it a requirement to fill the box evaluating
the jacket and sleeve prior to allowing a listing to go live. I
stand by my 20 plus year history as an eBay seller of advising
all buyers to evaluate all photos, and grade jackets according
to their particular standards and expectations.

describe all listings to the best of my ability.

Buyer " MUST " contact me
prior to initiating any return. Buyer pays all return shipping
