The © AP6.0 The Item: 

Original Victor  25549  - Signed by Tommy Dorsey

****  I do not have authentication paperwork for this signature, but I believe it to be authentic.  This record come from the collection of Bill George, Old Bridge NJ.  He was collecting records from the Early 1950's until his death in the late 1990s.  Most every record has notes on the sleeve (if you've bought from me in the past you now have examples in your collection).    If he questioned a press, recording or list of players he indicate it on the sleeve.  This sleeve simply says: "Autographed".   Bill had no reason to question it's authenticity and neither do I.   Bill had many other signed pieces of memorablia that will see auction listings at a later date.  I also did a quick online scan of signed Tommy Dorsey memorabilia and the resemblance is remarkable.  Don't miss out on the chance to own this piece of history.

Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s

My Reference and Grading Audio System:

Audio grading is done with a pitch perfect KAB Broadcast Standard Technics 1210 Turntable and a Grado 78C Cartridge designed for Mono 78 record playback. (If you love vintage records and don't have one of these you owe it to yourself to hear what it can do for your 78s)

Check out the KAB Broadcast Standard: http://www.kabusa.com/kab_bst.htm

******Grado 78C specs so you can compare my grading cartridge to your listening cartridge:

The Prestige model 78C uses a three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished conical/spherical

3 mil. diamond mounted in a brass bushing.

          Amp is a Vintage Eico HF-81 set for Mono playback.  Speaker: Single Mono Vintage University Coax.  I feel this is a very close to authentic set up.  I grade with Bass and Treble settings at zero for the most reliable read of actual record quality
