Ida Cox – Fogyism / Tree Top Tall Papa – Paramount 12690.

Ida Cox (vcl) acc by prob. Dave Nelson (cnt), Jesse Crump (p, bjo) - July 1928

Condition: V++ / V+.  There are a few small light scratches at the end 1 cm of Fogyism.

Shipping: Buyer pays shipping and handling, cost of which will vary depending on destination and method of shipping selected by buyer.  Within the USA & territories, 1 record shipped via media mail, with minimum insurance, is $6.02.  Insurance is mandatory.  If requested, I will quote rates for priority mail, FedEx or UPS ground.

Important note regarding shipping within USA: Ebay requires sellers to indicate method and other particulars regarding shipping, and automatically inserts a shipping cost at the top of this listing.  The amount of $6.02 quoted in the preceding paragraph is the actual minimum shipping & handling cost.  It supercedes any other amount that may be mentioned at the top of this listing.

If value of parcel exceeds $50 or if parcel contains more than one record, please wait until I inform you of cost prior to submitting payment.

Winners outside the USA will be quoted shipping cost at end of auction.  The least expensive method in most cases is via First-Class International Mail.

Because I have received inquiries from prospective bidders regarding cost of shipping records internationally, I am providing the following guidance.  Keep in mind that the amounts quoted are approximations only and actual amounts will vary depending on weight of record, jacket (if any) and packing materials.  In many instances, postage for one record to Europe or Asia should cost about $16.20.  To Canada, cost should be approximately $9.00.  Parcels with a value in excess of $40 will be shipped registered mail or any other method of winner’s choosing for which a tracking number is assigned.  In most cases, registration adds $11.50 to the cost of First Class International Mail.

I will accommodate winners who wish to have multiple records shipped in a single parcel.

Packing: For LPs, I use V3C corrugated cardboard squares that I have custom cut to a size slightly larger than a standard LP jacket.  This prevents damage to LP jackets edges during shipping.  V3C, sometimes referred to as “weather resistant” cardboard, is a single wall board that is stronger than standard single wall corrugated board.  For 78s, I use multiple layers of standard single or double wall corrugated cardboard, V3C or a combination thereof.

Payment: I accept payment Paypal.  I also accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries only.

Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.

Note on condition:  I grade records visually.  Occasionally, I spot audition records, in which case I will specifically indicate so in the description.  Following are the definitions of the grading that I use.  A slash between two different grades indicates different condition on respective side of record.

LP grading

N          A record known to be new.  This includes factory sealed records.

N–        A record that is known or assumed to have been played.  May have some scuff marks from removing and reinserting record in sleeve.  Otherwise, appears same as N in all respects.

VG++   More handling marks visible than on N –, but should audibly play like a new record.

VG+      No more than a few minor scratches or marks which are audible.  Such scratches or other defects will usually be described in specific detail.  Record will usually not have any groove wear.

VG        More than a few minor audible defects, but no steady noise.  No appreciable groove wear.

78 RPM grading

For 78 rpm, grading refers solely to groove wear.  Scratches and other defects are specifically described under condition.

N        New; never played.

E+      Shiny, like new.  May have some scuffs from removing and reinserting record in sleeve.

E        No longer shiny, but exhibiting no groove wear.

E–      One or two graying grooves.

V++    More than a couple graying grooves, but not quite as much graying as V+.

V+      Graying in the louder passages.

V        Overall graying, but still quite listenable.
