Bidding starts at $5 per disc in lot. 

Condition:  We only visually inspected the records and have not played them so grading is not our strong suit. They are appear used, but I was say they range from Good to Very Good +. All records are in generic sleeves and a couple of the records have small markings on the label with one has a persons initials engraved onto the label. One of the records is a self made demo by a would be singer songwriter. It is recorded on red vinyl. This lot is sold as is. Please ask any questions before bidding. 

Actual Items scanned in sleeves. Not Stock images from Discogs. 

Our records come from the estate of Record Company executive who left them to his daughter. 

Some sleeves have writing in corners, indicating the collectors valuation estimate probably for insurance purposes. These notations should not be considered a professional valuation. 

These shellac records are heavy, and we estimate an carefully packaged box of these 12 records with weigh an estimated 6 to 7 pounds when shipped.
