"The VJM Record Grading System... was devised by the publishers of Record Changer magazine in the 1940s, and the system now known as the VJM Grading System is a refined version of the former, introduced in the early 1950s."

N
(NEW)

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

N-
(NEW-MINUS)

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

E+
(EXCELLENT-PLUS)

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

E
(EXCELLENT)

Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E-
(EXCELLENT-MINUS)

Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.

V+
(VERY GOOD-PLUS)

V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and genral use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V
(VERY GOOD)

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

V-
(VERY GOOD-MINUS)

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+
(GOOD-PLUS)

Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G
(GOOD)

Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G-
(GOOD-MINUS)

Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.

F
(FAIR)

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

P
(POOR)

Unplayable.

All unsealed records are shipped outside their jackets and sleeves to prevent splits. I provide poly baggies and generic paper sleeves for this purpose. Sealed LPs will be specially reinforced at their edges to prevent jacket splits during shipment.

I try to ship all orders within 1 to 3 business days, but the delay may be slightly greater if I have many auctions to ship, or if it is a holiday weekend. You will receive email notification from USPS and/or eBay when your order is shipped.

All records are carefully and visually inspected under a cool, bright light. Visual grades are given as according to the Goldmine grading chart at left.

Visual grading is standard, unless playgrading is specified in the auction description.

If you disagree with my visual grade I will gladly approve a full refund (excluding return postage) on any item returned within 3 business days, foreign or domestic. eBay / PayPal policy clearly states return postage costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I do not refund return postage.

I gladly combine auctions from the same week into one shipment to save you postage. I cannot combine auctions together after they have been paid for separately. Please be patient for your combined invoice... this is usually immediate but can sometimes take up to 24 hours if I have many auctions ending at once.

I will ship only to your CONFIRMED PayPal address. If your address is not confirmed or if you want your record shipped elsewhere, you must make other payment arrangements.
