Rates E to E+, this is a very clean record with slightest scuffs and depressed dimples. Both sides played through cleanly on my Dual 1218 turntable with Shure 3 mil stylus with no skips, minimal background noise.
My grading scale is not complicated. Mint (M, M-) means like new with only the slightest of scuffing. Excellent (E, E+, E-) means minor scuffs, scrapes, label wear, light scratches that do not affect the play. Good (G, G+, G-) means scuffing, scraping, scratches, acceptable playing with noticible noise. I try not to sell records that are warped or that skip unless noted. These are records I have picked up while expanding my own record collection.
I pack very carefully with cardboard reinforcement, bubble wrap and sturdy boxes. I combine shipping on multiple purchases where possible. Please use shipping calculator to determine shipping charges to your location.
This auction DOES NOT INCLUDE international shipping; domestic USA only. PLEASE NOTE: The shipping calculator tends to give excessive shipping charges for International First Class Mail. I charge shipping on actual weight, postage is printed clearly on the label and I refund any excess payment if over $1.00 US for international buyers. A single 78 record shipped International First Class mail to Europe is around $18.00 US, but can very slightly.
Payment arrangemennts not made within 5 days will cause the sale to be cancelled and the item relisted for another auction. Please view my other auctions. Thanks for looking.
Please look at the photos.
