I strive to grade fairly, and have never sold a record without listening to it first. Visual grading is not an option at all. This approx. 100 year old 78rpm disc I have graded as being in Good++ condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors. There are the usual minor hairline surface marks that any 78 of this vintage would accumulate over the passage of time, but they are mainly visual and have no obtrusive impact on playback. There is the expected low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, typically common to any used shellac disc of this vintage, and which shouldn't spoil your authentic listening experience! The labels are in good condition. The 'Barley' label has small missing section and the 'Blue Bonnet' label has the remains of a sticker placed on by a record dealer, specializing in Irish Music in the Bronx, NY....probably fair to say it's not there now, and Irish music is probably not the no. 1 choice of the local residents now, so, all in all, grab a piece of Irish NY history, see close-up pictures uploaded.

GRADING GUIDE FOR 78rpm DISCS NM Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. EX+ Plays like new, with few signs of handling. Minor scuffs visible. EX Very shiny, nearly new looking. No visible signs of wear, inaudible scuffs and scratches. VG++ Still shiny, but without the lustre of a new record. A few light scratches. Light wear. No skipping or sticking passages. VG+ Above average, undeniably vintage condition 78 in which scuffs and general use have dulled the finish of the disc. Wear is moderate, but playback is not overly affected, and is free from distortion. Light surface noise, commensurate with age. No skipping or sticking passages. VG Moderate, even wear throughout, still very playable. Surface noise and scratches, audible but not intrusive. Good++ Quite playable still, distortion on playback due to surface noise. Music remains loud, in most passages, with scratches and surface noise evident but below music level. Good+ Serviceable and acceptable playback. Music may sound muffled in some sections. Noticeably heavier scratches and surface marks. Good Quite obviously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. Good- Music still prominent, with wear and scratches extensive. Fair Most of music remains audible over continual surface noise, although the vintage 78 experience is an uncomfortable affair. Collection filler material. Poor Unplayable, and most definitely of interest only to the most dedicated...
