CONDITION GRADING.

For vinyl records I use Record Collector grading with +/- to give some fine tuning. I feel that grading scale does not sit comfortably for 78s therefore I use the following:-

Mint - The record is as new - in the condition when purchased new from the record shop. My main area of record collecting is the 1950/60s and I do not believe many "pop" records (if any) from that period are in mint condition. Back then we bought records to play and play them we did!! You will find I rarely use "mint" or "near mint" - how near is near!!
Excellent (EX) - clean black surface with no or little groove wear. Possibly a small amount of light surface marking but not deep scratches. There may be some shadowing (pencilling) in the shellac which is one of the inherent features of this material. The labels are clean and unmarked.
Very Good (VG) - the record is listenable but some groove wear as evidenced by a dullish black surface, some light scratches and possibly a little light damage. Labels may be lightly marked.
Good - playable with much surface noise - the record has seen considerable play/wear - greying surface, scratching and possible damage. Labels may be damaged.
