CAREFULLY BEFORE BIDDING
NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED!
We VISUALLY grade 78-RPM discs according to the well-respected 8-point NAUCK GRADING SYSTEM. Generally, very few 78s are truly “Mint,” i.e. brand-new and “never-been-played.” Most of the discs that we offer on ebay fall into the V+ to E category; we will never list a disc that falls below a solid V designation. However, the complete visual rating system is detailed below:
M- (Just this side of mint)
E+ (A choice copy with no wear whatsoever)
E (Excellent. Virtually no traces of groove wear, w/only minimal traces of use/handling)
E- (An above average record with a slight degree of groove wear, but not enough to seriously detract from its audio quality)
V+ (Obviously well played, but still enjoyable. Noticeable graying in the grooves)
V (Very well worn, but listenable. Expect the surface noise to be significant. There may be some stressed grooves)
V- (Wiped out. Played with the right equipment, however, you may still derive a certain degree of pleasure from a record in this condition)
P (Possibly unplayable)
We PACK AND SHIP all 78-RPM discs carefully and professionally. We are record collectors who have been on the receiving end of poorly packaged, broken 78s! Here is how your shellac 78-RPM disc(s) will be packed and shipped:
1. Each disc will be placed in a new Kraft storage sleeve and then a poly protector sleeve;
2. The sleeved disc will be sandwiched between two pieces of heavy-duty corrugated cardboard;
3. The corrugated “sandwich” will be wrapped with bubble wrap;
4. The bubble-wrapped “sandwich” will be placed in a cardboard record mailer for shipping.
If multiple discs are won, the above procedure shall be followed and the bubble-wrapped “sandwiches” will be placed in a heavy-duty cardboard parcel box, suspended in packing peanuts or similar protective/cushioning ‘fill.’
