Grading System for 78s:
Just remember this. Not all 78s can be classed as being created equal as early manufacturing practices and qualities are varied.
Unspoilt: Full Gloss, perfect clear surfaces (no chips, dings, scuffs, or scratches). Label bright and unblemished. A rare condition for any record that was popular with it's owner.
E+. Mint:
One or two small scuffs. Solid gloss. Very, very light surface noise caused from earlier use. Label is like new.
E. Near Mint: A few more light scuffs with a few small scratches. Mostly glossy. Minimal surface noise detected
from previous play. Very enjoyable listening. Label might be fading a little with some wear noticeable.
P. Poor: Very little playing surface left. Might not track at all. Even if it was considered to be a rare find. I would not entertain it one little bit, a totally waste of good money. |
