They are play graded on a modern turntable using a new Stanton 2.7 mil stylus. I have been collecting, buying, selling, packing and shipping for decades so have experience in all of these aspects, so please feel free to bid with confidence!
Winner pays postage at cost. Domestic and international bidders welcome. Paypal accepted. Please see other auctions for more 78s as I am happy to combine shipping to save postage. Media mail shipping in the US...First Class International for overseas..plus $3 per parcel to help offset the cost of new boxes, cardboards, packing material..That charge is per box, not per record, so multiple wins shipped together are economical!
Thanks
