***A very rare set in archive quality! A very important piece of recorded history! I have 3 other rare Library of Congress Sets on auction this week.
Discs are in fantastic shape ranging from E to E-.
No cracks, chips, flakes, deep scratches, etc. and has a nice shine and luster. Labels are very nice. I always clean all of my records before listing them.
The box is in decent shape with some minor wear and tear.

N- No visible signs of use. I very rarely use this grade, if ever,
E+ A near perfect copy with no groove wear.
E A very shiny record with very few signs of use with little groove wear.
E- Shows a few signs of handling, but still has a nice luster and plays well.
V+ A pretty average records with some signs of wear and use, but not too bad- An enjoyable listen.
V Moderate wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Still playable, but some greying in loud passages.
G+ From this grade through the remaining grades, the record will have considerable wear. Scratches and Scuffs will be prominent, but music is still audible.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
F: Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening is now uncomfortable.
P: Pretty much an unplayable record. I only sell records at this grade that are nearly impossible to find.
