It is hard to imagine finding all of the Beethoven Symphonies on 12" 78 rpm Musical Masterpiece sets in NM condition but here they are.  These sets have been well taken care of.  The records are all present and absolutely like new.  Each album has the original cardboard stiffening material inside the covers and except for Symp. #7, the original pamphlet.  The only defects are a little discoloration on a couple of the covers (check the picture) and #9 has a small tear at the top of the spine where someone hooked a finger there to pull the heavy album off of the shelf.  The sets are M502, M131, M263, M274, M245, M417, M317, M336, and M236.  The conductors are Arturo Toscanini (B.B. Symphony), Leopold Stokowski (Philadelphia Symphony), Serge Koussevitzky (London and Boston Symphonies), Clemens Krauss (Vienna Symphony), Eugene Ormandy (Minneapolis Symphony), and Artur Schnabel (London Symphony).  These sets are heavy (and fragile) and will take careful packaging in 3-4 boxes.  Shipping will be a bit expensive because of the weight and I would not suggest international bidders participate as the cost of shipping would be prohibitive.  For purposes of this listing, I am extimating $30 in the U.S. but once the auction ends and I can weigh packages, I will advise and charge the actual Media rate with nothing added to packaging materials or handling.  Check out the pictures and bid with confidence.  I have shipped a few thousand 78s and know how to package.
