These are my grades ,E-,VG++,VG+,VG,VG-,G+. Highest to lowest for 78s. I only use E or E+ when the record looks almost new and unplayed or near perfect. E- or indeed VG++ are very nice copies and will be more than satisfactory to discerning collectors.
Aloha Oe / Drowsy Waters. John Hassel. Velvet Tone 1532-V. Record – VG (minor scuffs and light scratch(es)). I will include the original inner sleeve if it is available, if not it will be a plain white inner sleeve.
A Blue Danube Waltz. John Hassel. B By The Waters Of Minnetonka. Velvet Tone – 1602-V. G, pre-owned condition. No used record is perfect, whether the flaws are visible inaudible/audible scuffs, scratches, or fingerprints and possibly background noise of varying degrees.
