PACKING: I pack really well. I 'sandwich' the record/s between two thick pieces of cardboard, surround it with packing - scrunched up newspaper and/or bubble-wrap/polystyrene chips - and put it/them in a stout cardboard box. I have been sending records all over the world to regular collectors and dealers for many years. I have never had a breakage.
CONDITION - GRADING
M = Mint, New. + and - give clearer gradings.
Ex = Excellent - played but few marks & sound great.
VG = Very good, played many times, with scuff/wear & a little surface noise
Where there are two conditions given, for example, Ex/VG, it means that the first side is in Excellent condition and the second VG.
Please note that I grade by sound. 78s can look not too good but still play Ex-
Labels are clean unless stated otherwise or as in photos.
WINNERS : Please send no payment until you hear from me with the total cost.
Cheques/postal orders preferred from UK buyers but Pay-pal OK for Europe and US.
