American International Pictures 7210.  Boxcar Bertha.  If you've ever wondered what movie preceded Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets" this would be it.  This is a 6 cut promo-only 7" records used to advertise "Boxcar Bertha" on the radio.  The record grades VG++.  Each radio spot is separated by a locking groove which required the radio station to manually advance the tonearm to the next track.  It comes in a plain white sleeve with the American International Pictures address rubber stamped on it.  The sleeve is in VG condition.
Save on shipping with multiple wins.  For domestic shipping each additional 45 is 25 cents.  For international shipping I need to calculate based on weight.  The rate increase can be dramatic.  As an example an 8 oz. package costs $14.00 and a 9 oz. package costs $23.50.  That kind of jump makes no sense to me but that's the USPS for you.  If bidding on multiple items just request an invoice when you're done and I'll send an invoice with the adjusted shipping.
The US Postal service increased shipping rates again on 1/27/19.  Please check shipping cost before bidding.  Thanks.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus:  My top grade.  The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear.  The record will have top gloss.  The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ :  Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ :  The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG  :  Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it.  VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus  :  The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear.  For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade.  For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good  :  Very heavy wear.  This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale.
