You are bidding on a nice copy of IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME/WHOSE DREAM ARE YOU  by BING CROSBY/LES PAUL TRIO on Decca 18708.  VG+.  Song recently appeared in Avengers ENDGAME film.  Harry James version on Columbia sells for about $100!  I usually play test all 78s on my Stratton STR8-80 professional turntable before selling them.  There is of course some surface noise on all 78s and the older the record the more that is true.  Also most 78s have some slight scratches and scuffs on them.  Some labels may have had an owner's name or sticker on them.  Look at the photos.  Shipping is $6.50 via media mail and the item will be carefully packed in cardboard and "floating" in a larger box to ensure safe delivery.  Please see my other auctions for more great 78s, 45s, and albums.  Rufus is getting old and has WAY TOO MUCH STUFF SO-O-O BUNDLE SPECIAL:  Buy at least three records and have them shipped together for just $7.50 media mail.  Take 20% off on your entire purchase, for example you pick out one record for $6.00, one for $9.50 and one for $19.50.  Total comes to $35 less 20% ($7).  You pay just $28 plus combined shipping of $5.50  Send me an offer and tell me which ones you want, because I do have more than one of some great records.  If you are inclined to buy a bunch of records (at least six or more, the discount is 30%, and if you buy a dozen or more, I go crazy and discount them 40%)  That's right.  Almost half off!!  Buy fifty and I will take half off!! You must understand, it is not easy to safely ship shellac 78rpm records.  You must insulate them as much as possible from getting crunched as you would not want to put two or more surfaces together without something between them to keep them from getting scratched or broken during transit.  I use professional cardboard between individual discs and then make a sandwich topped off with bubble wrap, then float it in a larger cardboard container with crumpled newspaper to prevent it from moving within the box.  Good hunting!
