78rpm AL JOLSON AUTOGRAPH on Brunswick #2569 SHIPS FREE

$

50

PAYPAL ONLY.

Original AUTOGRAPHED 78rpm 1924 Brunswick record 2569 featuring   A:  I'M GOIN' SOUTH  and   B:  CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME. 

I am not great at professionally-evaluating record condition.  The record plays clearly.  There are no cracks or chips.  There is a lot of shine to the record surface but also some latteral scratches...that run across the grooves.  The record is intact, and (from looking at the photos, so are the labels.)

The emphasis here, however, is on the rarity of the record having been autographed.  Although somewhat faded, the blue fountain-pen signature reads clearly and cheerfully, "Hello  Al Jolson" on the A-side (I'm Goin' South.)  The variegation in the fountain-pen ink--- especially where the pen descends a loop or lingered momentarily before ascending in its swoop shows consistency.  There seems to be no hesitation in the signature and seems signed confidently.

This is a PAYPAL-only auction.

Payment is respectfully requested within 10 days after the auction close.  Immediately upon receiving payment I will ship...PROMPTLY!

SHIPPING WILL BE FREE, via USPS 1st class mail and will INCLUDE INSURANCE AND TRACKING RECEIPTS, TOO.  Any additional or more expensive shipping can and will gladly be arranged but at cost to you.  Knowing how fragile 78s are, the record will be shipped in an archival sleeve and in a plastic outer sleeve.  This will--in turn--be sandwiched between 3 layers (each side) of corrugated cardboard (6 layers total) and then boxed.  I really do want to make sure that this invaluable record makes it to your door in one piece.

I MUST EMPHASIZE HOWEVER THAT FOR ALL OF MY AUCTIONS   I MAIL WITHIN THE UNITED STATES ONLY.

Please do email any questions to me up to 24 hours prior to auction close.  PLEASE NOTE:   I will be away on Saturday, Jan. 12th (returning in the evening on Sunday, Jan. 13th and while away, will have LIMITED ACCESS TO MY EMAIL Account.  So, on those days, if you do not hear from me right away, do not despair!  I am an eBay junkie and will get to your question immediately after!!!  :o) :o)

Thank you for looking!
