Here on Columbia records A2393 from 1917 are Borbee's Jass Orchestra with "Paddle-Addle" along with a WWI song "The Ragtime Volunteers Are Off To War", the record visually appears to grade a V+ on the VJM scale and should play with very little surface noise. Please look at the pictures and feel free to ask any questions, I wipe records with a microfiber cloth I do not chemically clean them. Record playback quality will be highly influenced by the type of turntable, cartridge and tracking force used. Cleaning is recommended on all 78's as I stated earlier other than wiping with a microfiber cloth I don't clean them I like to leave that to the discretion of the next owner. I pack 78's in a 14 inch by 12 inch by 5 to 8 inch(depends on quantity) double box with cardboard pads and bubble wrap then it is placed in more bubble wrap or peanuts, all single 78's are shipped in a vintage sleeve, if there is a sleeve to match the label that will be used and as for feedback I always wait for the seller to receive the record and leave feedback as then I know the record arrived safely and was as stated in the listing. Check my feedback I have been shipping 78's for over five years with no problems including international shipping through e-bay, if there is an issue please contact me and it will be resolved. I like to recycle and with the cost of media mail more is better, I combine shipping, with each additional 78 record being $1.00, I am always open to offers and thank you for looking. I use the Vintage Jazz Mart (VJM) scale for grading 78's both visually and aurally, some 78's are played prior to listing and prior to shipping when sold and although I am not a professional grader I do know what I like and I try to grade under. I recycle and with the cost of media mail being reasonable I believe more packing less breaking. I ship Internationally through Ebay Global Shipping strictly.              Vintage Jazz Mart (VJM) Grading-78 RPM Records           N    Mint unplayed as from the old store stock, very rarely if ever used           E+  Plays and looks like new with very few signs of handling, such as scuffs from sliding in and out of the sleeve.           E    Still very shiny near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.           E-   Still very shiny, but without the lustre of a new record with a few scratches.           V+  Is an average condition 78 record in which scuffs and general use has somewhat dulled the finish.
