FRANKLIN MINT - VINTAGE COUNTRY 2-LP Set & Book - JIMMIE RODGERS + CARTER FAMILY

$

23

This lot contains a box set of two 12-inch 33 RPM LP's in the "Greatest Country Music Recordings of All Time" series issued by the Franklin Mint Record Society. This box is titled "Jimmie Rodgers / The Carter Family", and it contains an 8-page booklet, dated 1982, a cover letter, and the following individually numbered records, which are both pressed on red vinyl:
Record # 33 -- "The Carter Family"
Record # 34 -- "Jimmie Rodgers" 
If you can enlarge the fourth picture, you should be able to read the full track lists for both records.
The records might need a good cleaning, but otherwise they look to be in about VG+ to EX condition, still beautifully shiny, and hardly any visible surface wear. I've played all four sides on my Audio-Technica turntable, and there were no skips or jumps and mostly just extremely light background noise, with maybe a few scattered pops or clicks. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well they will play on your equipment. 
The box is in solid and functional condition, but with some surface pressure marks and some wear around the edges and corners. The records have matching Franklin Mint anti-static inner sleeves.
We also have other box sets in the same series, so please feel free to contact us if there's a particular one you're looking for. 
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.   COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat, prior to bidding, please. 
FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
