SHIPPING - Discounts on quantity and shipping
Albums are packaged in bubble bag, cardboard fillers on both sides and sealed in LP mailer for best protection. I always play grade albums that are for International shipment.
If this is an International purchase, you will be sent an invoice from ebay "Global Shipping" for actual shipping cost. I have decided to use this method because as a buyer you will now have a tracking number and insurance claim options.
Combined shipping is $1 for each additional album. Place items in "Shopping Cart" for combined shipping rates, and then purchase.

Those cut-outs and hole punches in a record covers - why did they do it?
In the recording industry, a cut-out refers to a deeply-discounted or remaindered copy of an LP, cassette tape, Compact Disc, or other item. When LPs were the primary medium for distribution or recording, manufacturers would physically cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the jacket of unsold records returned from retailers; these "cut-outs" might then be re-sold to record retailers or other sales outlets for sale at a discounted price. A special section of a record store devoted to such items was known as the cut-out bin or bargain bin. As tapes and CDs supplanted LPs, the mechanisms for indicating a cut-out changed. On cassettes, a hole tended to be punched or burned through the case and through its printed insert. On CDs (a practice that continues today), a section of varying size is taken out of the spine of the jewel case and its paper track listing.
