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.
