Any questions, please ask before bidding or buying.  Record is used and in condition as shown in photographs.  Record comes in inner and outer protective sleeves.  I grade way down, so you will not be disappointed.  If you have questions as to the factors that go into grading, please see the reference duplicated below from the Record Collector's Guild online.

We do combine shipping on multiple auctions.  In this event, please send a request to send an invoice prior to payment.  Thanks!

Payment: Payment is due within 2 days of the end of this auction or the same day when a 'Buy It Now' option is exercised.  I only accept payments through PayPal. PayPal is fast and secure for both of us and allows you to pay for your item(s) with any major credit card, PayPal account balance or from a bank account.  If payment is not made within the stated time, the item may be relisted at my (the seller's) discretion.  If you (the buyer) cannot meet a payment deadline due to unusual circumstances, it is the buyer's responsibility to contact the seller and make arrangements as soon as practicable.  Under no circumstances will an item be shipped prior to receipt of payment in full.

Shipping: I almost always ship the morning after payment is made on a sale (or no later than Monday morning if the sale is made on Saturday or Sunday, due to postal operation hours).  I do not try to make money on shipping.  I ship responsibly and guarantee that if your sale included free shipping or if you paid for shipping, every effort has been made to assure that you will not incur any item arriving with postage due.  In the unlikely event that you do incur additional postage on a transaction, please pay for the difference, save the receipt from the shipper, email it to me and I will rectify. 

Condition and authenticity:  I do not deal in fake, copy or counterfeit items - knuckleheads like that ruin the purchasing experience and give a bad name to collectors of all types.  This includes autographed items and autographs themselves.  All autographs I sell were obtained in person or under circumstances wherein I am comfortable absolutely guaranteeing the authenticity.  I stand by that.  

Please review photographs closely for the condition of figure cards, vinyl records, comics and items.  I always attempt to grade more severely than the guides, which errs to the benefit of the buyer.  Most all the items I sell are collectables and there is invariably a level of even the most minimal shelf wear - even with the best of packages.  If you still have reservations or questions about the condition or authenticity of an item, again, please contact me before you bid, please.

Good luck, have a great time bidding and thank you for viewing!

Record Grading Guide as Published by the Record Collector's Guild (online)

Our records are not play tested, as this can actually depreciate the value of a record.  Our records are visually graded, which is an industry accepted method of grading.  As with all previously owned vinyl, there is a potential for some level of hiss, or ambient noise which can come from a number of factors, including an individual?s turntable, their audio setup as well as the record itself.  If you have concerns about the playability of a record, please message us and we will play test it for you and provide you with our results.  Please allow for at least 24-48 hours notice for us to do this.

 

Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all. Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. 

The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. 

An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. 

Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 

Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

Very Good Plus (VG+)   Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. 

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. 

Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". 

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. 

Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 

In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG)   Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. 

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)   Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). 

A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 

It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.

Poor (P), Fair (F)   Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
