Nice set of Soul and R&B singles, mostly from the 60's, some 50's, a couple of early 70's.  The records are listed and graded below: they should all play through (no harsh marks or significant warps) and provide an enjoyable listen.  Like most old 45's, they play better (generally a grade) than they look.  Here is what is included (vinyl graded first, label second):

Free domestic US standard shipping!  See below for cost of US Priority Shipping, or International Shipping.  Please disregard eBay's automatic shipping calculator for Priority or International shipping, wait for my invoice or use the appropriate shipping cost below!  I ship using new packaging materials, no shipping in a used Tide box! Shipping includes the cost of the materials:

• PRIORITY 7" DOMESTIC shipping: 1-9 7" for $8.00; 10-13 7" for $12.00; 14-20 for $14.00
• INTERNATIONAL 7" shipping, SHIPMENTS VALUED UNDER $100 (USPS First Class International)(Canada $3 less):1 for $14.00; 2 for $15.00; 3 for $15.50; 4-6 for $16.50; 7-9 for $18; 10-13 for $20; 14-17 for $23.00; 18-20 for $26.00.  I am certainly interested in minimizing shipping related costs, since they are unfortunately high, so don't hesitate to message me to discuss options.
• INTERNATIONAL 7" shipping, SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $100 (USPS Priority International):  Unfortunately, the lowest cost category of US international shipping that allows for an insured item is USPS Priority International (USPS First Class International is uninsured - that is not my definition of First Class!).  And USPS Priority International is not cheap.  But to protect myself for more valuable items I need to have them insured.  Depending upon your location, up to 8 7" records will cost approximately $37 to ship, thereafter the cost increases roughly $1 per additional 7".  For these higher value shipments I pay the cost of insurance and do not charge for the packing materials, to help defray the shipping cost.  Also be aware that USPS regulations require the value be written on the custom form to enforce the insurance.  On the bright side, packages get there quicker!  I am certainly interested in minimizing shipping related costs, since they are particularly high with insured services, so don't hesitate to message me to discuss options.  

• Mint (M) (only if sealed).  Not used for 7".
• Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear.
• Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade.
• Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches but will play through without skipping, may be slight warping but will play through (without having to tape a penny to the tonearm like the old days!) and nothing that will cause a significant bobbing of the tone arm, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, and/or ring wear.  This is a common grade for older 45's - they were often stored outside of the sleeve which lead to multiple light surface hairline scratches which have not caused significant damage to the vinyl grooves - they will still afford an enjoyable listen.
• Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade.  Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
