Description:

Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring Yvette Guilbert.
A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, this item retains the original shine with only a few very light marks/fingerprints, grading by sight in normal room light.  Based on past experience, I would expect the tracks to audibly average at least VG+(excellent).  Audio grade provided upon request, but I may also listen to it and update this description with a detailed track-by-track analysis.

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no other copies found for sale on the Internet!
So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!  It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people: NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective) VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise
I normally ship single 78rpm records in a 14x14x6 box padded in styrofoam peanuts. Weight with box is about 2 pound 1 oz. Shipping is 2-3 pounds Media Rate, $6.13 + $3.70 box = $9.83.  I have to buy those boxes individually.
I'm shipping to you at cost.  If you feel it is too much, please look elsewhere.  E-bay will charge me 10-15% of the shipping as well.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $9.83. This includes online tracking. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending.
