It's Been A Long Long Time 78 rpm Harry James Record Avengers End Game VG+VG++
I'm a collector of 78 rpm shellac discs, as well as vinyl 33s and 45s, but mainly shellac 78s. I know how to grade records--I sell to support my habit of collecting.
I buy a lot online, and often have to return my purchases because they were either poorly graded or poorly packaged and broken. Yes, I like that you can return items for a refund, but I can never get the time back that I put into searching, buying, reviewing and returning. It's much of a hassle.
I certainly offer full refunds upon return of the item, but I try to grade accurately so that their are no surprises, and definitely know how to package fragile shellac records.
CONDITION: This disc is VG+. It contains minor scuffs and light scratches--see photos. It has a great shine to the surface of both sides It plays through fine on both sides with minimal noise, but the best side is "It's Been A Long Long Time" with no feelable scratches, only surface. It's a 6-7 on a scale from 1 to 10--slightly above average. If you're not looking for a mint or NM version, this will be a good player for you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
