This is John, Paul, George and Ringo, The Beatles, singing their two-sided hits "Love Me Do" (# 1 in 1964) and "P.S. I Love You" (# 10 in 1964) on Tollie 9008. This Beatles record looks and plays in NM condition. The blue picture sleeve with the song titles in pink and orange was issued by Tollie and is VG+ with obvious ring wear. The other two picture sleeves are custom sleeves that were available over the internet in the early 2000's and are in MINT condition. All of this comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeves. Price guides suggest a valuation of $250 to $350 for a NM copy of the Tollie 45 and PS. You can own this NM record and VG+ PS for half the lower valuation and receive the two custom picture sleeves as an added bonus.

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.
