Description
Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies, I'm in the process of selling off the majority of my record collection to finance the ongoing restoration of a classic car...hopefully without going bankrupt! So please check back often, as I'll be listing hundreds of LPs over the next few months.
Anyway, let's continue with this classic set of two 10" 78 rpm records titled Little Johnny Strikeout released by Capitol Records in 1949 (DBS-3051 Monophonic) Original blue label with silver print, Capitol logo at top. This set comes in its original paper gatefold sleeve featuring cover art and photos inside of The Yankee Clipper - Joe DiMaggio.
This set tells the story of Little Johnny Strikeout, an eleven year old boy who struggles with the game of Baseball. The story is narrated by New York Giant Hall of Famer Bill Terry with music arranged and conducted by Billy May, vocals by the Statlighters and best of all, these recordings feature Joltin' Joe DiMaggio himself!
Both records and cover are in very good condition. The records show very little wear, no scratches or deep scuffs...very little surface noise when played. The cover has some chipping at the top edge on the front and a 1.5" tear down from the chip near the upper left corner. Otherwise the cover has no seam splits, writing, cut out marks or other flaws.
This is a very nice copy of a hard to find piece of Yankees memorabilia...don't miss it!
I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine (at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay) I will take the time to describe any flaws on both the cover and record itself rather than give a letter grade that will mean something different to seemingly every record buyer and seller.
I am a very picky record collector and have been let down many times buying a record that was graded VG++ or NM here on eBay and other mail order services that were pretty beat up...and I'm sure that has happened to you too!
To protect the cover during shipping, both records will be shipped in plain paper sleeves outside of the gatefold cover. The set will be shipped in a standard cardboard record mailer with cardboard and bubble wrap inserts to prevent damage during its time with the postal service.
Please feel free to email with any questions but keep in mind that unless there is a "Buy It Now" price listed above, I will not respond to any questions or offers to end an auction early...Thanks for your understanding!
The fine print:
Payment is due within seven days after end of the auction. I only accept payment through Paypal - if you do not have a Paypal account, please email me BEFORE bidding to inquire about alternative payment methods.
Due to overwhelming requests, I generally ship domestic packages by Media Mail. However, please keep in mind that while Media Mail ihis the cheapest shipping method, it is also the slowest. Media Mail can take one month or MORE to arrive. Media Mail shipping within the United States is $4.00 including mandatory Delivery Confirmation.
I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $4.00 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional .25 cents each. Please wait for an invoice from me as the Paypal system does not calculate the combined shipping.
Overseas shipping is by Air Mail only. Shipping for one LP to Canada is $7.00 and everywhere else in the world is $14.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one to four weeks to arrive. I do combine shipping on overseas purchases - I will send an invoice with the combined shipping cost if you purchase more than one LP.
Sorry I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "lost" packages.
All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from the cover to prevent seam splits while in transit.
I do offer a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with your purchase. I do not make my living selling on eBay it is supposed to be a fun hobby so if there is a problem at any point during the transaction please let me know so we can work out a solution.
Thanks for looking and good luck!
