Grading

I like the VJM grading system for 78 RPM records:

N. As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+. Plays like new, with very, 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 lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+. 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 greying 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 scratch damage extensive.
F. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P. Unplayable.

Packing

All records are professionally packed. I use oversize new boxes.

For Single or Multiple 78's

I put the 78's between 2 cardboard flats & then I put plenty of bubblewrap over that. I then pack it in the oversize box using crumpled newspapers or peanuts as cushion.

For 78 Albums

I pull the 78's from the album, put them in some extra paper sleeves. I then put the 78's between 2 cardboard flats & then I put plenty of bubblewrap over that. I then pack it in the oversize box using crumpled newspapers or peanuts as cushion.

For 33 Record Albums

I pull the record from the jacket and put the record jacket and the record in a plastic sleeve. I then use a little bubblewrap and send in an oversize box with newpapers or peanut as cushioning.

For 45's or EP's

I'll put 45 or EP in a paper sleeve and then in a plastic sleeve and ship inside an oversized box.
