Sandwich the 78(s) with cardboard sheets, and wrap that in bubble wrap. Fill the box with packing chips, foam or newspaper. There are guides online: http://www.claxtonola.com/shipping78s/# “Never use an LP mailer to ship a shellac 78!” http://oldtimeblues.net/2016/06/04/a-guide-to-properly-packaging-78-rpm-records/ https://nesprs.wordpress.com/mailing-a-record/ Unfortunately this week I received another damaged 78. This seller had made some effort, and previously sent me two 10” 78s which had survived, but this 12” arrived with a chunk which had broken off. I think this was probably because the record was not cushioned enough at the sides. Not a 78 I had desperately been searching for, but it seems scarce nonetheless, sadly.
