78 Grading Standards  (with thanks to VJM)


N   New and unplayed (Very few 78s can categorically be called unplayed)

E+  Plays like new, with very,  few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E   Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E-  Still shiny but without the shine of a new record, a few light scratches. 

V++  In between V+ and E-

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.

V  Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V-   Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

G+  Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G  Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G-  Music still prominent, but wear and scratches are extensive.

F  Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

P  Unplayable.
