I'd use one of those and then bubble wrap the hell out of it. And wrap it up in a T-shirt or something to boot (call it a bonus!). Of course if someone is paying $5 one might not put in the effort, but 78s in the collector market aren't going for $5 (or you might be sending it as a gift). Obviously this depends on the location sending and receiving, but I wouldn't trust any postal service with such an item - courier. A friend sent me a CD once that arrived in 2 pieces because at some point Canada Post had a) dropped it in water and b) run over it with some thing with tires (the tire markings were on the envelope). It wasn't insured so all we got was a "sorry for the inconvenience." Luckily it was a burned CD - not an actual album or anything - so my friend simply made up another one. But it could have just as easily been a $100 collectible.
