These shellac/10"/78s are from my father's collection and would have been bought, roughly, in the very late 1940s into early 1950s.
I have sold several collectable vinyl albums in recent years and have, I believe, a reasonable feel for a grading of those on the usual grading systems. However these are 70 year old 78s. I do not have the ability to play test these. Nor am I aware of how 'lenient' grading should be given their age. I can, therefore, only visually check the record over, and then "say it as I see it". In that I have tried to be as objective and clear as I am able. I ask that purchases made are on that understanding.
Records will be packaged and sent with care, hence the postage pricing, which reflects the use of record mailers bought for use with my vinyl sales.
After 'test packing' I can combine postage as follows for the UK:-
1 or 2 shellacs in a single package - £6.95
3 or 4 shellacs in a single package - £7.95
I not sure whether it is prudent to go more than 4 at a time. Who knows until I try! :-)
Note also that I have around 120 to sell eventually. Most are 10" 78rpm shellacs of the same era. Plus I have 4 or 5 12" shellacs - James P. Johnson, Mezzrow-Bechet Quintet, - 3 10 33.3 vinyls - Jelly Roll, and Louis A - and a couple of 12" vinyl albums, all from the same collection.
