Here on  Decca records A-550 from 1945 is a 4-10" 78 rpm record set from Bing Crosby with The Andrews Sisters on a few selections "Merry Christmas", the binder is in good condition with a good spine and nice decent graphics with bright color, the records visually appear to grade a V+ or better on the VJM scale and should play with no skips or distortion and very little surface noise. A nice set of records, that are getting harder to find.
Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions, I wipe records with a microfiber cloth I do not chemically clean them. Cleaning is recommended on all 78's as I stated earlier other than wiping with a microfiber cloth I don't clean them I like to leave that to the discretion of the next owner. I pack and ship 78's between cardboard sheets-wrapped in bubble wrap then placed in a large box with packing materials so essentially the record floats, I combine shipping, with each additional 78 record being $1.00, I am always open to offers and thank you for looking. I use the Vintage Jazz Mart (VJM) scale for grading 78's both visually and aurally, and although I am not a professional grader I do know what I like and I try to grade under. If there is any issues with your record(s) please contact me and we will work out the problem. I recycle and with the cost of media mail being reasonable I believe more packing less breaking. I ship Internationally through Ebay Global Shipping strictly.              Vintage Jazz Mart (VJM) Grading-78 RPM Records           N    Mint unplayed as from the old store stock, very rarely if ever used           E+  Plays and looks like new with very few signs of handling, such as scuffs from sliding in and out of the sleeve.           E    Still very shiny near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.           E-   Still very shiny, but without the lustre of a new record with a few scratches.           V+  Is an average condition 78 record in which scuffs and general use has somewhat dulled the finish.
