Blues 78 Record = Barbecue Bob on Columbia 14581-D. phonograph 78rpm

$

788

Here is the 4th jazz or blues 78rpm record that I am listing this week.  All records were played on a Gemini 6000 PDT turntable with a Stanton M78S pickup, a Vector Research VR-3000 amplifier/receiver, and early EPI-100 speakers.  I will be listing a brand new Gemini 6000 PDT turntable a little later this week.  
Description:   This is Barbecue Bob, on Columbia 14581-D.
Sides are:  A. New Mojo Blues, & B. Jambooger Blues.  
> Two new pictures added Dec. 6th

Condition:  Visually V+ for "Mojo" and V++ for "Jambooger."  Boths sides sound great, like E-   This disk is in very nice overall condition.  "Mojo Blues" has a few sounding clicks at the end, due to 3 needle digs (visible in the label pic).  "Jambooger" has a variety of very tiny nicks and marks on it that don't sound.  This record is extremely well-recorded and sounds great all the way through.  Plays perfectly flat, no skips, no jumps, no problems.  A very nice specimen all around.  
My grading is based on the following scale:  P, V, or E.  +/- and occasionally ++/--     P = unplayable, E = almost like new.  I've sold & shipped well over 100 78rpm  records on ebay over the years without a single complaint about condition or satisfaction.

Shipping:  Very securely packed for $ 4.00 s/h via Media Mail (or $10.00 Priority) in the U.S.  Other destinations are possible but please inquire first please for an accurate quote.  Overseas sales will incur a $5 surcharge because it involves a lot of extra time and trouble to prepare and process such shipments. Shipping int'l will be at actual cost plus 5.00 I will not ship to certain countries (e.g. Italy, due to postal malfunction) . Please ask before bidding.  Thank you.   
In reply to a question about packing and shipping I gave a much more detailed answer as follows:  
I've packed and shipped well over 100 78rpm records in the dozen or so years I've been selling on ebay. Mostly classical records, which is my specialty, many of them quite valuable.  I've shipped within the U.S. and around the world.  I've also bought some records over the years, both from dealers and from ebayers.  From dealers I learned what proper packing means.  From non-dealer ebay sellers I learned what IMPROPER packing means.  
When I pack records I bind them snugly between multiple squares of stiff cardboard taped securely together so that nothing shifts around inside.  I also put them in paper or cardboard sleeves and/or put a square of paper towel between each record.  I do NOT put bubble wrap between records because that is asking for breakage.  Bubble wrap goes on the OUTSIDE of the bound record stack, around and around.  Then all of that surrounded by styrofoam peanuts.  
It is also important to use a big enough box, in my opinion, so that the record(s) will be nested safely in the middle with lot of cushion all around.   For a very valuable disk I would recommend double-boxing which would afford an extra measure of protection.  International buyers might not want double-boxing due to the extra bulk, weight, and thus cost of the package.  The buyer will decide.   
Insurance is also for each buyer to decide.   Of course the more valuable a record is, the more sense it makes to buy insurance for it, but I pack so that a buyer will NEVER have to try collecting on insurance.  A broken record means failure, disappointment, hassle, regret.  I've never had a broken record yet and I intend to keep it that way!   Hopefully this message will help reassure buyers how seriously I take the issue of packing 78rpm records for safe shipment.  
I will consult each winning bidder on which shipping service they would like me to use, plus whatever concerns they might have.
