Note : This was just found from an estate. This comes as is with no refunds or exchanges  1 and 3/4 inch crack present but on my necomb school 78 record player the songs play through.  Has some chipping on the edge as seen in pictures and on side a has deep scratch from the label going out about a inch and 3/4. Neither the deep scratch or the crack hinders play from my record player. I have not cleaned this 78 or tried to fix the crack with anything. You are getting this just as I recieved it . I have leared to pack 78's extreamlty well and if you look back on my sales everyone has been satisfied. That being said I will pack this extreamly well and by priority mail so that it does not get dammaged in transit. 

The VJM 78 Grading System Is As Follows
N As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N  Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. 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 Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V- Quite playable still, but distortion and possible heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. Music level higher than surface noise. G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still slightly higher than surface noise. F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. Filler copy or wall hanger.
