Description: POST WAR JAZZ, BLUES, RHYTHM & BLUES 78 RPM - 1940s - 1950s CONDITION: E+ STANDARD 78 RPM GRADING: N- NEW MINUS - Highest grade used. Appears unplayed or barely played. Full luster. May have slight signs of handling, or sleeve marks. E+ EXCELLENT PLUS - Full luster remains. Very few careful plays. Slightest indications of use, handling or storage marks. E EXCELLENT - Almost full luster. Mild signs of play or storage marks. No serious wear, scratches or scuffs. E- EXCELLENT MINUS - Some luster remains, but record has some apparent wear, scuffs and / or light scratches. Still a pretty nice 78, better than average, acceptable to most collectors. V+ VERY GOOD PLUS - Record has considerable wear, scuffs and / or scratches. Still plays pretty well but is clearly a used record. An AVERAGE USED 78 is in the V to V+ range. V VERY GOOD - Mostly or fully gray from use. Obvious surface noise but probably still plays pretty well. Scuffing and / or scratches more prominent. V- VERY GOOD MINUS - Further deterioration. Fully gray with deeper wear and heavy surface noise. G GOOD - Good enough to play through. Very rough, deeply gray, surface noise about equal to music. F FAIR - Really beat 78 that may skip. Surface noise exceeds music. SPLIT GRADE (like E/E-) means the record has a different grade on each side. BETWEEN GRADE (like EE-) means the record's condition is between the two grades. SHIPPING DETAILS: 78s require special attention. Deep, oversized boxes are used. The 78s are sandwiched between at least four cardboard filler pads, and packed with Styrofoam peanuts and/or bubble wrap for safe arrival. I do not use LP mailers or 10 inch pizza box mailers. For 78's, I only use NEW BOXES from U-Line. My cost is about $5.00 for a box, filler pads, packing peanuts, tape and stickers. More if an inner box is needed. SHIPPING & HANDLING in U.S.A.
