Prestige 893.  Blue Haze I/ Blue Haze II.  10" 78 RPM Record.  The 78 grades VG+ with an overall clean appearance with minor surface wear.  See the last 3 photos for surface appearance.  No chips or cracks.  It plays with the typical surface noise of a 78 but not more than that.  I have many years of experience safely shipping 78's.  Please do not send me a tutorial on how to do it.  Please read the next paragraph on how I ship 78's.  If this is not what you want please do not bid.
78 RPM records cannot be shipped the same way that 45's and 33's are.  For ultimate protection they must be securely sandwiched between rigid cardboard and then wrapped heavily in bubble wrap and then put into an oversized box.  International packages cannot be insured and all risk is assumed by the buyer.  If this condition is not acceptable to you (I completely understand if you feel that way, I would too) please do not bid.  I do not recommend buyers outside of the US bidding on 78's.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  The USPS created unnecessary chaos on 1/25/2021.  Europe no longer has consistent pricing, it varies from country to country.  Finland is $3.75 more than Sweden.  Does that make sense?  No, it doesn't.  The UK, France, Germany and a few others have a lower rate.  It's not possible for me to match every country with the correct rate.  I've had to use the highest rate across the board.  If your country ends up being dramatically lower I'll refund the difference.  You can refer to USPS.com to check their rates.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus:  My top grade.  The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear.  The record will have top gloss.  The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ :  Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ :  The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG  :  Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it.  VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus  :  The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear.  For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade.  For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good  :  Very heavy wear.  This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price.
