Thats only  about $1.25/LP.   Including insurance. The winner will receive Free shipping anywhere in the US by Media Mail. Overseas is by surface mail.

These LPs are in the categories of Country, C&W, Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, Outlaw Country, Old Timey, Cowboy, Hillbilly, Folk, Country Rock, Female vocals, male vocals, some western swing, a few country gospel (like Elvis, and other famous secular artists who did a few religious records), etc. The conditions range from: Original Factory Seal to M, M- to VG+ to VG. About 2% are Factory Sealed About 90%+ are M- to VG+. About 8% VG+ to VG, I don't think there are any that are VG- (maybe a handful). An overall excellent collection. The LPs are about 25% 1950's; 50% 1960's; and 23% 1970's. Maybe 2% 1980's. All Original First Press. I personally handpicked these Lps, from hundreds of thousands.. I have not offered any of this lot for sale before. This collection has not been cherry picked. There are some $100- $200 pieces like Jimmie Osborne on Audio Lab, Moon Mulligan on King Records. Plus a number of $50-$100 pieces.  I would say, the average current selling price individually is about $9-$11 including individual Media Rate Mail.  $12-$15 each  including  $7 Priority shipping/LP.  Including US shipping;  This is a magnificent deal.   Think about it this way: if you bought 1000 LPs individually, the shipping alone would cost you $6,000- $7,500 (US Priority) . Overseas airmail would cost you $12,000 -$20,000, depending on the country.  If you are shipping to the USA, this Collection could be yours for only $999.  This collection is a bargain in every way. I can not sell these for any less than this. Also, these prices do not take into account all the time you would have to take to assemble a nice collection like this. There are many Regional Labels, private press, and micro press. Here are a few examples: Jimmie Osborne Audio Lab AL1527 in shrinkwrap M-/VG+; Arnold Chinn Group Twin Spin M-, Elario Country EPI VG++, The Country Sunshine Band Starr M-; The Bluenotes on Dandy M-, Fish House Fellowship Band Fish Records M-, Bill Davis Old Tradition Records M-, 1st Love No Label M-, Dry Branch String Band Private M in the Shrink, Donnie Elkins No Label M in the Shrink, Country Cooking Rounder M-, Stoney Edwards MA 10021 Sealed, Jack Fox The Bourbon Cowboy Dale Sealed, Bob Folsom World No # M- (Gram Parsons sounds like Bob, they were contemporaries, Bob may have been a little earlier, the LP sounds like a more laid back "Gilded Palace of Sin". Georgia Crackers G Bar C M-, PLUS Many More......(about 15-20% are in these Regional Label, private press, and micro press categories.). There are also many well known artists, like Johnny Cash on Sun Records, and Columbia,, Hank Snow, Liz Anderson, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Chet Atkins, Wilma Burgess, Roy Acuff, Marty Robbins, Donna Fargo, Eddy Arnold, Lynn Anderson, Mac Davis, Gene Autry, Larry Gatlin, Ernest Ashworth, The Seldom Scene, Homer & Jethro, Bill Monroe, Roger Miller, Elvis Presley, Loretta Lynn, Eddie Rabbitt, Homer & Jethro, Jean Shepard, Tom T.

And, of course all the rare regional artists. If you are a collector starting to build a Country Collection this is a great offer. You can explore and enjoy this collection for many years. If you are a dealer/collector this is a very good deal. This is also a good deal for a dealer. I would rather not list all the Lps in this listing individually, if I did that I might as well sell them individually or in smaller lots. I hope you understand. This lot is sold as is, but you will be satisfied. The enclosed LP Photos are random, there are many other great LPs here. Any photo glare is caused by  shrink wrapped and Factory Sealed.  LPs. You may never see an offer this good again. ////////////RECORD GRADING ::: FS=Factory Sealed. /// New= New (or Mint) perfect in every way, record appears unplayed. /// New- = New minus (or Mint minus), record played maybe 1 to 9 times , perhaps a few spindle lines on label, and maybe a sleeve line or two.
