Hot sides
Grade: V++ (two large scratches on A side, tic occasionally, not intrusive) 
MY EBAY SALES POLICIES: This has been an issue with several customers now.  My handing time is 5 business days from time of payment.  This is not a fulltime job for me, I do it on the side when I have inventory.  Sometimes it may take me longer if I have a large number of orders to ship. You will get your record, please have patience.  I charge a $3.00 handling fee along with standard shipping fee of $4.50 via media mail. I use new cardboard boxes and new corrugated pads. My fee has gone up due by $1 due to cost of materials.  I will provide combined shipping on multiple wins.  Every record after additional win will be $1.00 extra. I do sell international, but international shipping is considerably more expensive than domestic.  Please WAIT for an invoice from me before you send payment. The sale price may not reflect combined S&H for multiple items, etc.  If you would like shipping other than media, please notify my at time of win and I will be happy to accommodate.  I Use VJM Record Grading System:

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is an 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. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) G- (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
