Description

ITEM: Title Cover: VG+ . There are signs of wear. Inside sleeve: VG . Original. LP: VG++ . Spot tested and plays real nice. GRADING: Note, I'm not a professional. I'm grading this the best I can and on the conservative side using the Goldmine scale: NM: Records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, including any ?spindle marks?. Major factory defects also must be absent. Covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind. VG++/VG+: Records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Covers should have only minor wear. May have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. May have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. VG: Records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song?s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won?t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too. SHIPPING: Records are shipped via Media Mail for $5.38. I do combine shipping for $0.80 additional per record. If you are bidding on multiple auctions, please wait until they have all closed before paying. Other shipping options won't combine, so message me first so I can send you an invoice.
