Frank Luther Winnie The Pooh 3 Record Set
Victor 221/222/223
E-/E-
Please see photos - have not play graded them but appear in great shape. The first disc (221) color has faded slightly less than the other two, and has a few 'gummy' like spots on Side A (would probably come clean with a wet cloth - did not try and clean them)
Shellac 78s will be shipped between two pieces of cardboard, then bubble wrapped and set in a 13" x 4" x 13" over-sized box. Bid with confidence. 78s pictured without sleeves DO ship with a 10" sleeve, though not necessarily a company sleeve for the particular record. 45s, LPs, and 78s can ship together for savings on total shipping cost. Buyers should presume that most records will need a light cleaning before playing.
SHIPPING (I do combine shipping. Please read below and request payment total when you are finished bidding on my items):
US Buyers - $5 for the first 78. $1 for each additional. Shipping via USPS media mail with delivery confirmation. If ordering multiple lots, cost will be calculated by weight and buyer location.
International Buyers - $23 for the first 78. $3 for each additional up to six 78s. Orders over 4lbs will be calculated by weight and buyer location.
Canadian Buyers - $21 for the first 78. $2 for each additional LP up to six78s . Orders over 4lbs will be calculated by weight and buyer location.
(PLEASE REQUEST PAYMENT TOTAL when you're finished bidding. Thanks!)
78 SHELLAC DISC GRADING:
N (78) NM (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78) NM- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78) VG++ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78) VG+ (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78) VG (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.
V+ (78) VG- LP. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.
V (78) G+ (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78) G (LP). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. LP: Lowest Grade. Audible scratches, etc. on more than half the tracks. Listening uncomfortable.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
