PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND GRADING SYSTEM :The covers are used in (VG+) condition with some fading and wear but did it's job of protecting the vinyl which is in  (NM) condition.See pictures cause what you see is what you get.  I also ship with a Heavy Duty 2 mil polypropylene archival safe and acid free outer sleeve? This is a costly thing I do for my customers at my expense but a necessary item that I send all my 45's and albums in to insure their safe and playable condition when they arrive and for long after.. 
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE BUYING:  I also ship all albums with a 2 mil polypropylene acid free outer sleeve free of charge in a hard box via USPS media mail which sometimes will open and search the box. If you would like me to ship priority mail instead the cost will be your responsibility to pay for the extra charges over the media mail price.
I DO NOT SELL ANYTHING THAT IS NOT PLAYABLE ALL MY VINYL IS GRADED HARSHLY AND IS BETTER THAN WHAT I GRADE THEM AS. THE COVERS ARE SOMETIMES WORN BUT THE VINYL IS ALWAYS VERY NICE.
VINYL GRADING: NM - Hardly ever use unless the record has never hardly been played at all or is new  VG+ - play tested on good turntable to play w/o skips but might have a hairline or two but no major scratches VG - Has minor scratches and some noise but plays fine no skips on GOOD TURNTABLE G+ - has a skip and a few scratches but ok and playable Nothing I sell will be non playable or have more than one minor skip
COVER GRADING: NM - In shrink wrap with no bad spots on cover and edges are not worn VG+ - some fading or some edge wear but all in tact and good color VG - Some major edge or fading problems but all ok  G+ - some tape or edge problem like cut corners,holes,staining,names of owners,or any other major defect similar to these.

I Grade my records the best I know how and that is playing them before shipping out and if I notice anything I didn't when it was listed I will message you before shipping out. I also leave a detailed description of what my grading system which may not be the same as yours. So if you disagree with mine when you get it. PLEASE DO NOT START A RETURN!!! Just message me and we will always stand behind what we sell. I sell used records some of which are 50 plus years old so if I put Near Mint as a grading on a 50 year old record it is just that but still is a 50 year old record made when record companies still were learning about how best to make vinyl sound better.If I put VG it means it has some scratches but no skips. So What I mean is it is not gonna sound as good as one that is only 20 years old no matter if it is sealed in plastic and never been played. So please as you are buying records from the best era of music ever in my opinion the 1960's-1980's remember record players were not that great yet either so if it was played on Mom and Dad's stereo console with the slightly bent needle it is going to have some noise even if it is still in NM condition but if you turn it up loud enough you won't notice it as much. Also if it was a great record chances are it was played like a million times that is why you are buying it RIGHT Thanks and Rock on
