78 vintage record - Atlantic 1006 - 1953 - Clyde McPhatter and The Drifters - doo wop
I try to avoid records that are simply not an enjoyment to own due to condition or inability to play well. All records are graded using my simple categorization:
Near Mint (M-) nothing is rated mint
Excellent (E+) possibly a flea bite or hair scratch or smudge, super shiny
(E) scuff or light scratch or two, still super shiny
(E)- slight scuffing or very slight scratches, still shiny
Good (G+) light scuffs, scrapes or hair crack, shiny still very playable
(G) scuffs, scrapes, light cracking, some shine, still playable
(G-) scuffs, scrapes, cracking, playable, not necessarily enjoyable
Poor (P-) wall art due to playing condition
These are fragile artifacts from the last century. Records are sandwiched securely between several pieces of corrugated cardboard of appropriate size, wrapped in bubble-wrap and securely boxed for shipping. I have shipped hundreds of records around the world using this method with no damaged records.
I pack all items carefully for a secure mail delivery. I will gladly combine shipping when possible. Photos are of actual item for sale and are part of the description of that item.
