OK - NOW TO A LARGE COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL LATE 1950s / 1950s ERA LATIN 78 RPM RECORDS, I'LL BE POSTING THESE FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF WEEKS - This is a reasonably priced ORIGINAL LATE 1940s OR EARLY 1950s ERA U.S. SMC RECORDS 10" 78 RPM RECORD containing the songs 'Te Espero, Te Quiero'/'Blanca' from Polito Galindez with Orquesta De Rene Hernandez.  It is SMC Pro-Arte Records catalog number 2539.  Condition of record is a high VG with a small to moderate amount of surface marks, small scuffs, and light scratches, a couple of which can be felt and may cause a few slight ticks.  Labels have a little wear around the center hole and a little wear around the edges.  RECORD HAS NO WARPS, CHIPS, OR CRACKS (SURFACE OR SUB-SURFACE) and plays nicely with the usual non-distracting background hissing associated with most 78s.  This scarce vintage 78 would be a nice addition to any Latin music record collection!  

SHIPPING: RECORD WILL BE PACKED IN A 12" LP MAILER WITH CARDBOARD FLATS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD INSIDE THE MAILER, AND MAILER WILL THEN BE PLACED INSIDE A SECOND LARGER 3" DEEP BOX WITH 1" OF CUSHIONING MATERIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MAILER INSIDE THE OUTER BOX - I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE OF MY 78s ARRIVE BROKEN USING THIS SHIPPING METHOD.  Winning bidder pays $4.00 media mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - REGISTERED WITH SIGNATURE DELIVERY FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (21.75) AND GERMANY is $31.50 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!   PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $12.75 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $12.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the 78 if winning bidder is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
