I used the VJM Record Grading Standard for 78s
- N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed
- N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
- E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
- E (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
- E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
- V+ (78) G+ LP. 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
- V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
- V- (78) G- (LP). 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. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
- G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
- G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
- G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
- F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
- P (78). Unplayable.

RECORD & COVER GRADES NEAR MINT (NM) ~ Looks brand new. Vinyl looks like it may never have been played, with perhaps some faint superficial marks or paper scratches but nothing that would affect play. Labels/Spindleholes have few, if any, spindle marks, or marks from handling. Covers are pristine and usually still in the original shrinkwrap.
Excellent (EX) ~ Is almost perfect but has some slight flaws. Vinyl may have some very light scratches/blemishes/scuffs which are superficial and should not affect the quality of the sound very much. There may be some surface noise but it shouldn't distract from the music. Covers may have very light ring wear/cornerwear/seamwear, light writing/discoloration and/or small stickers/punch holes/saw-cuts/creases. Labels may have light spindle marks/writing and/or small stickers.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) ~ Looks good but with some signs of use & wear. Vinyl will have noticeable light scuffs/scratches/wear but for the most part, it will only cause some light surface noise and/or spots of mild noise. Any scuffs and scratches will not be "feelable" and will not cause skips. There may be the slightest of "dish warps" but it will not be immediately noticeable & will not affect sound. Covers may have mild/moderate ring & shelf wear, small seam splits, some mild writing/creases/discoloration/stickers/punch holes/saw-cuts. Labels may have mild writing/names/stickers/spindle marks.
VERY GOOD (VG) ~ Shows definite wear and handling but the vinyl is playable and the cover is still together. Vinyl will have noticeable surface noise in areas with clicks and pops. There may be "feelable" scratches/scuffs which could cause skips. Cover has obvious ring and shelf wear, stickers, marks, staining, seam splits on any or all 3 sides, writing, cuts, and discoloration. Record Labels may have writing, names, stickers and will have spindle marks.
GOOD PLUS (G+) ~ Only a rare or special record will be listed with this grade.
