An extensive collection, priced to sell as I have several thousand of these old 78s to find new homes for. The shipping price includes a strong double wall box, multiple layers of bubble-wrap and polystyrene loose fill - the best way of packaging these potentially delicate shellac records which once lost are difficult to replace. Overseas buyers please be aware that most international sales (including those to mainland Europe) now attract import charges. Please be assured that enormous attention will be paid to the safe packaging of this item.
