Comments: First off...I want to state that I have limited experience selling 78's. I I have been selling vinyl 33's and 45's for many years. With that being said, I will base my rating as i do a vinyl record. I know 78's have different playing characteristics and play with a much heavier needle. So what looks bad to me visually, may play through completely fine. I also do not have a way to play test 78's, so my rating is strictly visual. Also, I HAVE shipped 78's before. So be rest assured they will be properly packaged and arrive at your door in the condition seen in the photos.
So here we go!...shellac has visible scuffs, scratches throughout. The "Breathless" side has some heavy paper sleeve wear that should not cause much disturbance. There is also one longish scratch that can be slightly felt by the fingernail. This scratch I tried to pick up with my camera, so please zoom in on photos. The label on this side shows light rub wear/spindle marks. The "Down the Line" side also has some heavy paper sleeve wear and one longish scratch that extends about 3/4 of the way through and proceeds to the end of the track. This scratch can also be slightly felt by the fingernail. There is also a scratch in the dead area. The label on this side shows rub wear around the outside ring and a little toward the center. Again....PLEASE ZOOM IN ON PHOTOS FOR FULL DETAIL. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for looking :)

**** NOTE TO BUYERS****
I use the Goldmine record grading system, which is detailed below. Cover's and vinyl are graded separately and may not fall into the same category. If you would like more info about a particular title, please ask. I check Ebay often and will try to get back to you promptly.
M (MINT) - Album is brand new, sealed, and unplayed.
NM (NEAR MINT) - Vinyl looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. LP cover may have some light rub marks.
VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) - Vinyl may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned corners, or a slight seam split. Also may have slight signs of wear also may be marred by a cut out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at discount.
VG (VERY GOOD) - Vinyl has light wear, scratches or scuffs. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, or small seam splits.
G (GOOD) - Vinyl has moderate, ever wear throughout, but still playable. Surface noise and scratches. A cover or sleeve will has large seam splits. especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the cover.
P (POOR) - Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable. The sleeve is water damages, split on all three seams or heavily marred by wear and writing.
