The Beatles "We Wish You A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year" Pic Sleeve Only
This is the picture sleeve only for the Beatles holiday records. It is titled "We Wish You A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year". This Vee Jay picture sleeve that was issued with a center cut out is in excellent condition with very little overall wear. There are no seam splits or writing on the sleeve. The other picture sleeve is a custom sleeve made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. This picture sleeve is a one-off sleeve that was not mass produced. It gives you an idea of what this sleeve might have looked like if Vee Jay had not issued theirs with a center cut out. Both sleeves come in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer to keep the sleeves in excellent condition. Price guides suggest a valuation of $80 to $350 for a NM copy. You can own this excellent copy for near the lower end of that valuation and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve with it.
U.S. postage and handling is free on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.
I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years.
If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.
Definitions:
Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.
NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.
VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.
VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.
Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
