I would like to personally say "THANK YOU" to all of my customers of the past 15 years selling on eBay.  They are the momentum that keeps me moving, and what makes selling records on eBay a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
  NOW is the time to ADD ME AS A FAVOURITE SELLER! I'll be selling some more rare (some, even SCARCE!), amazing, and spectacular 78rpm records over the next few weeks, and you will not want to miss out!  For those of you that have already added me as a favourite seller, the time to watch my upcoming auctions is NOW.  Now that the holiday season has passed, I am breaking out the GOOD STUFF.  Untouched 1920's dealer stock, blues, R&B, pre-war country, jazz, strange acetates, political curiosities, the weird...and the unusual!

*  TWO (2) special Gennett sound effect/sound track pressings. 
#0160, ALLEGRO #2, one side has Horses Hoofs LOUD, reverse...less loud.  Record has a stamping impression flaw that does not affect playback located at 7-O'Clock, interestingly there is an "02" stamped in the groove area near the flaw!  Plays through nice and loud!   Sounds like music and sound effects to accompany a silent movie!  Aside from that, I grade it a very strong "V"

#0173, THOROUGHBRED continues the horse racing theme!  The GENNETT RECORD stamping at the bottom of the label has been peeled off, and the Motion Picture Equipment Service rubber stamp has been placed there.  Few random marks on the disc that don't affect play.  Upbeat, lively orchestration, much like the other disc.  Also grades "V"    Both records play better than grade, both electrically recorded.

I grade both discs "V" using the VJM Record Grading system (grade descriptions listed at bottom of auction).

N (78)   As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78)   Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78)   Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78)  Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78)   Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.   

V+ (78)  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.   No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78)   Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (78) 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.  

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.
