Check out the many other fantastic 45s, LPs, and 78s on my store page! Buy more and save!! Win up to THIRTY 45s from me, and no shipping charge will be added! (although over 8 will be shipped media rate)
Shipping cost within the lower 48 states is $4.00 via USPS media mail. If you would like Priority, that is $9.00 (the safer option for a 78) Rest of the world, $23.00, and only 50 cents more per record. Canada is $14.00
All 78s come in generic sleeves, unless otherwise pictured. All records have been professionally cleaned. Records are packaged with corrugated cardboard pads, inside a larger box with packing peanuts. If you would like insurance, or anything faster than media, please let me know.

I visually inspect all records under bright light, and play  at least half of each side on a modern turntable to get a true picture of condition. I'm a 0ne-man operation, not a store, so I take my time grading. Here is the criteria I follow........ N As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed). N- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. V+ Average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. V  Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. V-  Quite playable still, but distortion and greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.  G+  Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. G  Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. G-  Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive. F  Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable. P Unplayable.
