Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas 78 RPM album with 4 discs mostly V+ or better
Click Photos to Enlarge
COVER: VG+
RECORDS: Mostly V+ to E- (see notes)
NOTES: Nice gloss on these 4 records, and way above average condition on 7 of 8 sides. There are a few small edge chips that do not go into the playing surface except for on Side 5 I'll Be Home for Christmas, which has a bigger chip that will affect the first 30-40 seconds or so. You will have to lift the needle over this chip and then can play most of track. Overall price reduced for this flaw.
PACKAGING: I know how to pack 78's. I place the record between 2 cardboard inserts, then wrap with bubble wrap. I use a deeper box and fill with packing peanuts.
GRADES I USE: All 78 grading is visual and very conservative. I use the VJM grading system as follows:
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+. 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 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.
G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
