Grading Chart:
N (78)
As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78)
Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78)
Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78
Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78)
Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78)
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 (78)
Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78)
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+ (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 scratch damage extensive.
F (78)
Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78)
Unplayable.
