78 GRADING: We use the universally recognized VJM (Vintage Jazz Mart) 78 rpm system in grading our 78s with some streamlining as noted, eliminating some of the hair splitting on records graded V- and below (G+, G, G-, F).
E+
Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear. N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.
E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.
E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.
V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.
V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.
V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.
P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
